I've Got a Friend

Okay, it's starting, shh
Oh, shh
No, you shh
No, you shh

Who would've said
When I met you at a party, everyone was drunk on 40s
Just south of Stuyvesant
That I would get to know your sisters
Bring 'em with us every time that we were in Austin

If only she knew
What it's like to see the world with someone who
Is excited by everything
Fashion sense of a king living in the fifteenth century

Oh, I've got a friend who's been there through it all
Masturbates to Rob Pattinson, staring at the wall
I've got a friend who's tangled up inside
Tried to hold her hand the day her mother died
I've got a friend who's been there through it all
Talked me out of jail, talked me off the panic rail
I got a friend, I got a friend
And she's got a friend, too

Any other day
We'd be hanging out together no matter the weather
She'd make us listen to Dolly or else
When I'm far away like I seem to be a lot
I miss the days we'd spend smoking pot

If only she knew
What it's like to see the world through someone who
Isn't afraid of anything, laughs about everything
I'd like to see the one who thinks they can change her mind

I've got a friend who's been there through it all
When I lose my shit, she's the first person I call
I've got a friend who handed me a shot
And taught me to dance when the love inside was not
I've got a friend who's smarter than anything
Wears all her mother's rings, stands for the right things
I got a friend, I got a friend, I got a friend
And she's got a friend, too

I got a friend, ooh, I've got a friend
And she's got a friend, too
I got a friend, she'll be there in the end
When we're old and we're dead, ooh
And she's got a friend, too

I've got a friend, her name is Claire
Her name is— she's got a face and cute underwear
Alright, let me do one more, I'm starting to loosen up
Yeah, there you go, it's nice isn't it? You got it
You know that's the vibe with that one
He's so good at piano
