lyrics

Verse #1
Only two weeks since we last spoke
Feels like two days or a bad joke
We get dinner on a weeknight cause I know you have work in the morning, you’ll have to go early
And I’ll smile, and you’ll say
How are you doing, I hope things are okay
How the new job, and the new place?
You feeling better that we met here face to face

Pre-chorus
I just want to be friends

Chorus
I don’t want to waste your time
Cause you’re not going to change my mind
I just want you to live your life
And I’m just going to stay in mine

Verse #2
I know your friends never liked me
I was an antisocial, early morning, string bean
And you’d get angry when I wouldn’t tell you what all my songs were about, well, not about you
And it’ll take time to notice
Something beautiful inside all the ugliness
Please remember that no matter what happens it all meant something to me

Pre Chorus
I just want to be friends

Chorus
I don’t want to waste your time
Cause you’re not going to change my mind
I just want you to live your life
And I’m just going to stay in mine

Bridge
Too young for now, but not for long
Find someone, carry on
It’s getting late, just come on over
Stay at home, its’ getting colder

Outro
Nah nah nah nah nah nah…

Their off-kilter brand of noise rock coupled with catchy hooks and dirty instrumentation make them a force to be reckoned with. They won’t apologize for stirring a ruckus in your ear canals, but they will give you a hug. ... more
