Good Friends

Sleeping on my new friend’s couch
Wine stains all around my mouth
Playing on his ancient, out of tune guitar
Lost my glasses and my phone
Think I broke part of his home
But I’m feeling pretty happy, so far
Sun is streaming through the window,
Glass of water by my head,
Isn’t that the way that it should be?
I’ve got good friends, good friends, good friends
Who love me
And I love them equally
Different friend came home with me
For a weekend-long Maine slumber party
I don’t know the last time I got so many hugs
I played a gig, she sang along
Knows the words to all my songs,
Tell me if you think that isn’t love!
We see each other every day
I know when she is not okay
Isn’t that the way that life should be?
I’ve got good friends, good friends, good friends
Who love me, and I love them equally
And I always wanted something like this
I think we all do
I needed a place to put this kindness
And now I have new
Friends who give it back
A hundred fold
I’m the luckiest person in the world
Went away for one short week, on vacay with family
And I wake up to see three friends texting asking where I’ve been
I’ve never felt so loved before, don’t know what I did to earn this love from them
Roommates and band mates and best friends and bad dates and
Life the way I wanted it to be… I’ve got good friends, good friends, good friends, who love me, I’ve got good friends, good friends,
and I love them equally

Five AM and I’m still up
Not tired from our night
It could have been a little much
But I’m glad you stayed the night
And there are things that I can’t say
Some things I’ll never tell
I hope that I can find a way
To forget the things I know too well
Think of nothing
Breathe in, breathe out, like one, two
Think of nothing
Just the feel of you
Remind me to breathe when I forget
Hold me ‘cause you can
Feel me here right next to you
The rarity of woman, man
Forget what strange waves run so deep
The oddity of thought
I want to say I want you too
Meant to be kind, but I forgot
Think of nothing
Breathe in, breathe out, like one, two
Think of nothing
Just the feel of you
Too much in my brain
I can’t sleep
Could you clear out my thoughts?
Just let me be
Too much in my brain
I can’t sleep
I count my blessings
Instead of sheep
One, two
Early morning and I’m anxious
Put your hand on my heart again
Feeling warm and scared and helpless
Analyzing everything
Don’t know how to do this
Don’t know how to be with you
Five AM and I can’t sleep
Breathe in and out,
One, two
