I have the finest friend
She set the trends on how to mend
I work on myself everyday
And even when I don’t know what to say
I feel like I have gone all too long
Judging everyone under the sun
Oh my friend she talks to me
She told me to be free
Crying all the time
Best way to unwind
I feel like I have gone all too long
Judging everyone under the sun
Oh the standards
I’ve had plenty of bad weeks
Not knowing what to do or where to seek
But when she’s beside me
I know I am free
I feel like I have gone all too long
Judging everyone under the sun
Oh the standards

Summer '17

Black hair in a
Summer trance
Wait until
The moon is over
The apple bed
In plain white sheets
Of cloud variety
Summer spies
On your part of town
Hold your breath
And stare them down
If summer comes
Fall is sure to turn around

Last night
Behind the stage
I found myself
On the page
Read aloud
Soft and slow
On my own
Before the show
Couldn’t win
Even if I tried
Envious
Since the start of time
every point I’ve felt your mood
Every point I’ve seen it skewed
Sometimes I know it well
Other times I cannot tell
If you’re good
Or if you need my help
Pick you up when I feel compelled
I wanna yell
(Ladadodododee)
(Ladadoodoodoodoh)
Get up now
Somehow
Suburban streets
I can walk everywhere
Through woods
Get some fresh air
In the backyard
On the grass
10 or 20
Teens go dance
Hey my friend
You Got a dime
Need a light
Need to unwind
Feeling jealous
In the crowd
Can’t escape it
I’m not allowed
Sometimes I know it well
Other times I cannot tell
If you’re good
Or if you need my help
Pick you up when I feel compelled
I wanna yell
(Ladadodododee)
(Ladadoodoodoodoh)
Get up now
Somehow

Something About Him
03:07

I hope he wants me
I hope he needs me
And when I long him
I am aching
For an answer
I have a question
Why have you waited
To tell me softly
That you are planning
Your final exit
There's something about him
The light's growing too dim
There's something about him
There's something to him
For me (for me) For me (for me)
I hope he's patient
I hope he's peaceful
When I tell him
That it is time
To shape up
I have a question
Why are leaving
Don't stand in the door
Stay awhile
Let me listen
There's something about him
The light's growing too dim
There's something about him
There's something to him
For me (for me) For me (for me)
