lyrics

This city’s often part cloudy.
Lone smile to find’s in an alley.
Of eight I’ve lived here third longest.
A third of that isolated.

Yearn for times distant and near.
House often on this tape appears.
More cats: Kaiba, Falafel.
For you sang “Avocado.”

I’m middle bound by bridges.
While peach sign for you’s an hour.
Down here we start, next is my turn.
Phone hours bring me close to you.

Be my friend, be my friend!
Be my friend, be my friend!
Meet beneath live oak trees.
Cuddle outside Karma Cream.

Sing your songs, pure and true.
Inspire with sunny outlook.
Help me learn what’s in my head.
Be my friend, be my friend!

Find me where? Ancient airstream,
St. Augustine, can walk to beach.
Wake to cutest frown, oh no.
Little one’s sick, you’re staying home.

Making plans across the miles:
Not easy, always worthwhile.
More than year, from “hi” to fifth
hangout when we have first kiss.

Querida, be my friend!
Meet my friends! Now your friends!
Let’s play shows! Maybe hey…
Someday we could start a band!

Never been to your house.
St. Pete for you remains unknown.
We have Tampa and Gainesville.
We’re lovers, and we’re friends!

Jane sang it, now send it to you:
In "Rush Hour," wow, look what you do!
Point to me, then strum your uke.
Basked in glow, no hiding blush.

Finding words takes me so long.
No drama, just happy song!
Romance ends before record’s done,
half the length of the buildup.

There’s no end, always friends!
Was distance? Sure, obvious.
And more than fits in a chorus.
Now we’re even better friends!

Your light guides me in darkness,
back from edge of hopelessness.
Dream of future smiles to greet:
“I like you! Let’s be friends!”
