Harrison, You're my best friend, And by comparison I guess you're alright in the end. There's nobody quite like you; And everyday when I get up I thank the lord that this is true. If there were more than one Then the world would end up in an End of the planet situation, Nation by nation, And that wouldn't be that nice. Oh, Harrison, Where do you go? What do you do? I want to know what's happening inside your mind. Oh, Harrison, What do I do? I've never loved somebody Quite the way that I love you And I want you tell me How the World looks From your eyes. Harrison, We miss you, And it's not embarrassing, To say if you think that I'm awesome Then I think that you are too.

I'm feeling rough, I'm feeling raw, I'm in the prime of my life Let's make some music, make some money, find some models for wives I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin and fuck with the stars You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars This is our decision: to live fast and die young We've got the vision, now let's have some fun Yeah it's overwhelming, but what else can we do? Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute? Forget about our mothers and our friends We're fated to pretend To pretend We're fated to pretend To pretend I'll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world I'll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home Yeah, I'll miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone But there is really nothing, nothing we can do Love must be forgotten, life can always start up anew We'll choke on our vomit and that will be the end We were fated to pretend To pretend We're fated to pretend To pretend I said yeah yeah yeah

You used to be somewhat anathema to me you were a stench you were a stool you were a succubus but further down the line I think you’ll find I can change my mind that’s not a crime and even though I don’t know why, it’s not a crime there seems to be some sort of loop surrounding me or my activites repeat at an alarming frequency and in decline is anything that’s mine sitting in a shopping trolley crying over somebody you’ve seen once in the biscuits aisle and instantly adored is not becoming or convincing and I know that your’e fucked up and it’s a thing you can’t get over and it’s worthy of our tolerance but everybody’s hungry and you’ve eaten all our biscuits and I love your bout of gluttony and even if it’s August it gets chilly in the night and we’re supposed to meet the others in the park in 20 minutes and I don’t want to explain that you’ve been crying over someone else and that’s why all your eyeliner is leaving bits of residue all over your nice face and how you won’t even remember in the morning when it’s over and in a half an hour when your friends are all around you and you’re drinking and you’re happy and the only piece of evidence that you were ever miserable is the mascara that is covering your cheeks and maybe me sat in the corner when I try to catch your eye between deluded dreams of getting up and leaving you forever

I don’t know if maybe you thought my attention span Lacked what it needed to Listen to you tell me all that you wanted to Say your CD arrived Yesterday Morning, I've listened to it seventeen Times since I've opened it How do you feel the way I do Effortless production, guitar tracks and bass in your voice Is a beautiful Way to say everything words couldn’t say on their own A few seconds of Your left hand shaking, the sounds of the fretboard, I know It was hard but I’d Love you to feel the way I do Seventy million times I have listened to you Put your love into Words, finely structuring everything you wanted to It’s a funny thing Every day my ears and your mouth are never apart And you know If a car came from nowhere I’d die with the sun in my heart. Love you to feel the way I do

Don't be a stranger, I like your company. If there's anything you want, If there's anything you need, I can provide it for you.

i used to go to sleep before the sun came up but lately i’ve been thinking about us and it’s just hard, it’s just hard, it’s just been difficult to be out on your own with no goals laid out in front of you something tells me that i was happier when you told me what to do i used to take the bus to go anywhere now i can’t think of anywhere to go we would sit at your house and talk about the future only two years to go and we’d know what to do with our lives if we stuck to the paths that we choose with each other in mind, stick it out until the end now i’m too scared to call just to see how you’ve been something tells me that i was happier when you told me what to do
