Four Friends

I know a man who lives inside his mind
Got a social life on a steady decline
Too afraid of everything to go outside
I know a guy who argues with his thoughts
Falls asleep each night with a video on
Doing anything he can to quiet his mind

And when his dreams come to an end
When his life stops making sense
He doesn't feel it but he's luckier than most men, cuz
The only thing you really need in the world is four friends

He likes to see through his two animals' eyes
Content with love, food, sun, and time
His home is their whole world, they don't seem to mind
And life with Jenny's like a life above
She's got an infinite heart like she invented love
She ain't afraid of what's inside

And time again he's learned
The best lovin' is returned
They give him all he needs to give it right back to them
Here for it all cuz all you need in the world is four friends

He's almost there but there's a missing piece
When his final friend's an enemy, he won't sleep, he won't dream

Yeah he's so close except for where it matters most

I've been a bully and I've been a snake
Made a mountain range out of all his mistakes
Can't I give this poor man a break?

We've got a long long way to go
But I don't mind moving slow
He drives me crazy but he does as good as he can
We're stuck together, might be better if I'm his fourth friend

(Tell myself again)
The only thing that I need is four friends
(Lovin' lovin' them)
I've got it all when I've got my four friends
(Win my heart again)
The only thing I should be is a friend
(Tell myself again)
The only thing that I need is four friends
