lyrics

I caught the 31 train
I started going my way
I thought about all the things
That are making me stay
I’m working hard til I’m drained
Live my life in a day
I fight around fallen kings
That are trying to stay so relevant

Am I one of them yet?
So prevalent
There’s no safer bet

I’ll be your friend but I can’t be your lover
I’ll lend my hand but I’ll dance with another
If nothing can bring our two paths together
Then we can pretend to be something better

A friendship renewed
A lifestyle reviewed
Conscious but so unkind
You just changed up the mood
My thoughts have been skewed
Negating every pew
My options are now a thing
Still with the thoughts of you, so relevant

Can’t they just leave me yet
So prevalent
There’s no safer bet

I’ll be your friend but I can’t be your lover
I’ll lend my hand but I’ll dance with another
If nothing can bring our two paths together
Then we can pretend to be something better

Got pretty good at predicting the weather
Thought anything that I said would be clever
Maybe someday we’ll have something to sever
And we can pretend to be something better
