Fast Friends

It's always the ones that spill their hearts when you first meet 'em
Get your digits and promise they'll keep in touch
Keep the clock running, tell you, "You're so funny"
Kindred spirit, I've never found somebody with that
Instant bond, wet concrete stepped upon
The friendliest words in your lexicon
Mixed with a hex upon them
There's such a thing as too much, too soon
A rolling wave drawn up toward the moon
Getting ahead of the choral tune And you're pulled along
What a way to start playing a different song
This one's on my level, the one I've waited upon
It's rare to orbit a star and see it shine so strong
It's like we were separated at birth, how does that work
That we both get annoyed by the same little quirk
Man, you get me – so rare to bond so directly
Friendship based on no regrets
No secrets, I know we just met but your charm has an effect on me
So many friendships are pretext for feeling friends' hips
But I'm feeling ecstasy without the sex and it's electric
We're so starved for connection, when it's direct it's like, Oh Yes
I remember how I'm meant to feel blessed by reflections
Of people that ain't playing hard to get
Of course it's exciting living life on a tightwire
Overwhelmed so we fight fire with fire
Bared souls are terrible homes when you need closure
The energy that makes him attractive makes him grow colder
I stake too much on the first take – good impressions fade
When they say, "you know, I wish I could come, but
Today's my great aunt's cousin's sixtieth birthday"
And the only time they make an effort is when it's already a day late
I can't play games, Better to call on the same names
That were there for me when the rain came and just pummeled my spirit
The ones that I really feel comfortable with
The ones Who saw me through my most humbling dips
Who are more than a little pissed that I took them for granted
All the moments I've missed now hit me like an acme hammer
It'll take a lot of time to build these bridges up again
So let's begin, no more getting swept up in spin
Dig roots deeper 'til we drink from the same well
Live, work, and play well together
Friendship can't be flashy and last long
You'll suffocate with that mask on
