I've Got A Friend

(album: Surrender - 2022)

Okay, it's starting, shh
Oh, shh
No, you shh
No, shh

Who would've said
When I met you at a party everyone was drunk on 40s
Just south of Stuyvesant
That I would get to know your sister
Bring her with us every time that we were in Austin

If only she knew what it's like to see the world with someone who
Is excited by everything
Fashion sense of a king living in the 15th century

Oh I've got a friend who's been there through it all
Masturbates to Rob Pattinson staring at the wall
I've got a friend who's tangled up inside
Tried to hold her hand the day her mother died
I've got a friend who's been there through it all
Talked me out of jail, talked me off the panic rail
I got a friend, I got a friend
And she's got a friend too

Any other day
We'd be hanging out together no matter the weather
She'd make us listen to Dolly or else
When I'm far away
Like I seem to be a lot I miss the days we'd spend
Smoking pot

If only she knew
What it's like to see the world through someone who
Isn't afraid of anything
Laughs about everything
I'd like to see the one that thinks they could change her mind

I've got a friend
Who's been there through it all
When I lose my shit she's the first person I call
I got a friend who handed me a shot
And taught me to dance when the love inside was not
I got a friend who's smarter than anything
Wears all her mothers rings
Stands for the right things
I got a friend I got a friend I got a friend
And she's got a friend too

I got a friend
Oh I've got a friend
And she's got a friend too

I got a friend
She'll be there in the end
When we're old and we're dead oooh

And she's got a friend too

I've a got a friend, her name is Claire
Her name is-, she's got a friend who's real cute on their way
Alright, let me do one more, I'm starting to loosen up
Yeah, there you go, it's light, isn't it? You got it
You know that's the vibe with that one
He's so good at piano
