lyrics

there were times i would tend to forget the things that triggered you
you would tell me your a bad friend id say thats ok i am too
crossing scars
and crossing stars

i would always wish there was something i could do
whenever i watched you leave the room
but i knew someone loving was nearby most of the time
and i felt good knowing you'd be fine

and i hope we can stay bad friends forever
jumping back and forth in book and song
and i hope i can stay clever for you

there were times i was so afraid
that pain would keep us distanced
panic in the front seat
switching in the back seat
walking in the dark
thinking that i wasn't wanted

later i would hear you tell me
that you all are always thinking about me

and your expression when you hear about the newest thing im writing
matches all yr own in its unabashed beauty

and you'd show me all the newest things you also wrote
and i'd be so in awe cause yr such
a genius
how are you not a best selling et
i still remember when you said the same thing to me
how you wish we could set aside our traumas and illness
and engage on the artistic level we know that we both want to
nowadays its all the more revitalizing to me just to be able to see you again
and feel like we'll be bad friends forever
jumping back and forth in book and song
and i hope i can stay clever for you
let's keep on being bad friends forever
