Joel & the Good Boys - Fairweather Friends Lyrics

I don't know when we got colder
Maybe it's just when the lake freezes over
But I take my dog for walks
And you're not around anymore
So, I drink until I'm thirsty again
I'm asking myself simpler questions with unwelcomed answers
Somehow you end up putting both of your arms into one shirt sleeve
Like you're stuck in this cotton-knit nightmare
Of what we will become
Or what we have become already, I guess

1, 2, 3, F*ck

Another Friday at my house
Another summer gone
But I never felt like we were wasting time, No, No, No, No
Lost in fluorescence
We were catching Pokemon
We spent the whole night in the Mario Sunshine
Fireworks & broken arms
The shaky grip of your handlebars, yeah.

Your parent's liquor cabinet
Smoking sister's cigarettes
Forgetting the whole world for a girl
We were flowering in august
Just to rust in the fall
But liquor will still make your f*cking lips curl
Our treehouses burned into apartment buildings
What the hell were we thinking
What am I thinking now

I have one thing to ask you while we're still here
Am I speaking slowly enough
Am I loud and clear
Before this part is over, before we
We end
Goodbye my fairweather friends
Goodbye fairweather friends

So now we're just melting to the motions
All those casual passing bys
You're ostensibly feeding your social appetite
I'm an acquaintance to your empty
Those facebook friending sighs
Getting left on read and pretending that it's alright

Now I'm wishing to eyelashes
I'm dreaming of the fights
I'm singing songs that you & I wrote together
I can still hear you laughing
Your lovesick overbite
I guess you meant next week when you told me forever
My mouth is dry, my aching bones
I'm screaming all my feelings into microphones

And if given the opportunity
If you were to look into me one last time with your opalescent eyes
And tell me yes, maybe, why not

I know two things
That I would asphyxiate from choking through the apologies and the I miss yous
And 2 that if given the opportunity I'd do everything all over again
Exactly the way it happened
Every sleepless night, every speeding ticket
Every wet-eyed kiss, every stupid line I wrote down
So that I might be able to say them to you one last time

Because who else would I be
