My friend was with your friend in my friend's car
It was the first half of the second floor when you took charge
Had the best half of two girls
far away from home
but I've got nothing now, nothing now
I think it was a dream
I think I woke up
with a weight on my chest
heavy as a dead man's bullet proof vest
I know it's not healthy
I know you're not helping
I can't be in ten
I must be in twenty
places at once
I can have twenty faces at once
Get yourself to work it isn't far
Get yourself through college with no car
Make it out to shows and the bars, yeah
You've got to take her to the back, man
Keep her on the backburner
Just keep her on the back burner
She's never coming back
Do you ever get the feeling, like you're being watched
I bet you like it, I bet you let them hear you talk
so when I'm sleeping our frequencies could cross
I'll say it sounds good, I'll hear a high pitch
that no one else hears, and I wont like this
I wont know what it means but I,
I'll think about us
