Your friend doesn’t really care
I guess that’s fair
Someone has to leave a hole
It’s out of your control
Maybe someone did them too
How they did you
Which leads us back to you know who
Hey isn’t this your shoe?

Check the footnotes
Note the air quotes
Read the captions
Avoid distractions


Someone needs a compliment
There’s no dissent
Everybody has been there
In fact we’re all still there
Let me take the time to say
You’ve done okay
Your friend sends a late night text
Now they’re a complete wreck

Check the footnotes
Note the air quotes
Take a deep breath or your pills
Or both, embrace impersonal growth

Just heed the signals
As if it’s simple
Deduce intentions
Make the corrections
Look both directions


Your friend doesn’t really care
I guess that’s fair
Everybody has been there
In fact we’re all still there
We’re all still there
