Vessel

Was the first taste of what life would be
A funny jacket and tight black jeans
What a freak
An eccentric goofy thing

All the parties that I drive you to
Yeah, all my friends said they love you too
That's what I'd be
Your vessel for popularity

I thought you'd be the flower
But you turned toward the sun
I planted the seed there
Tear up the roots and run

Now my people, the closest ones
They're hiding things that they have done
We used to talk about girls
But now the fun is gone

Now my new friend won't even look at me
My best friend's lover won't even speak to me
That's what I'd be
Your vessel for popularity

I thought you'd be the flower
But you turned toward the sun
And I planted the seed there
Just tear up the roots and run

Now when I close my eyes
That's what I'll see
With your head on his shoulder
And his hand on your knee

Now when I close my eyes
That's what I'll see
With your head on his shoulder
And his hand on your knee
