An Understanding Between Friends Lyrics

Take time to call your friends before you have none left

Tell yourself you're far away and that it's all for the best

Close your lips and hide away the fear and all the rest

Until you're forced to excavate these things deep in your chest

Is this how it's supposed to be

The pouring rain in a drought

Crystal clear water from the tap

Take time to fill the page before it leaves your head

Tell yourself you're on a break and never leave your bed

The paperbacks will pile up, who knows when they'll be read

I turns the blue light screen for my daily bread

Is this how it's supposed to be

He wore the stool on his sleeve

Burning sweet whiskey from the shelf

I want to be hit with binaural beats and feel my blood flow from my head to my feet

Can you fly a plane over the blue mountain range, or will it explode in a flaming metal cage

You think you understand all of your new and old friends, but they'll never tell you when they want it all to end

You said you understand, thought with a level head

But then you turned and you showed your ugly hand

What good's a man, I said, Soft necks and dirty hands

Well, you can't pretend when you're good when it's happened again
