Tituss Burgess feat. Quentin Earl Darrington -
Thirteen Stories Down: The Songs Of Jonathan Reid Gealt
My Best Friend
When we were younger,
Father built you a treehouse
That seemed seven stories high
It came complete with a mailbox
Where I would drop letters
As I was passing by
And after midnight I would sneak out
Quietly to meet you there
Where we would stay out
For the rest of the night pretending
I was Fred Astaire
I never had a friend
Who treated me better
Than you
When we were younger
Parents took us to Rio
For our summer break
Where we got lost in the mountains
And followed a river
Till they found us by a lake
Though I was scared
And we were hungry
You never seemed to falter
So I trusted your lead
And let you make the decisions
With both our lives at stake
I never had a friend
Who treated me better
Than you
Never better than you
Cause you were my best friend
You were the only one
I could depend on
You were my best friend
You were always the one I could trust
By my side
Do you remember the girl that you were dating in college
I think her name was Jan
She started screwing my cousin
Then moved to the south
Cause he was more of a family man
I always wondered why it never seemed to make you angry
Cause if you wanted me to
I'd take a trip to the sticks
And tie her up in the back of her van
I never had a friend
Who treated me better
Than you
Never better than you
Cause you were my best friend
You were the only one
I could depend on
You were my best friend
You were always the one
I could trust
By my side
It's been years since I talked to you
You don't sound any different
But still I can't find the words to tell you
How much I've changed
The reason why
I didn't care she ran away
I'm...
You are my best friend
You're the only one
I can depend on
You are my best friend
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
You don't care
You're still the same
You're still the same
We're still the same
Father built you a treehouse
That seemed seven stories high
It came complete with a mailbox
Where I would drop letters
As I was passing by
And after midnight I would sneak out
Quietly to meet you there
Where we would stay out
For the rest of the night pretending
I was Fred Astaire
I never had a friend
Who treated me better
Than you
When we were younger

I don't care
I don't care
You don't care
You're still the same
You're still the same
We're still the same
