I found my fickle friend Out in the alley way He said, "You don't look so good" I said, "Hey doc, that's great" You started practicing? I never got the note So let's shake and trade And be on our way So here we are again Inside your neon shrine Sharing a chopping block Under embarrassed light I try to hide myself I tuck myself away And we both grab hold Say, "No you don't" The morning's hot and harsh My notebook fills itself The words come thick with sweat But it feels like someone else Is writing all of this Someone I just can't believe So I mop my brow Set my pen back down It's still me, still me I'm grabbing at a feeling now That I could never name Some signpost to remind me How I wanted things this way She says you're pretty But you hate yourself I could hear it clear as day I say, I sing like this It sounds worse than it is I'm okay, okay I'm okay, okay Just stay, just stay Just stay, just stay Just stay, just stay Just stay, just stay Just stay, just stay Just stay, just stay Just stay, just stay
