I wish we could talk, I could say you're worth having around, even when I think I'm not
Teach you to swim, watch you drown, I forgot you couldn't walk
I wish we could wait, and replay the good part of the song till it swells in our brains
Write the lyrics down all wrong, I thought you wouldn't change
I wish we could fight, just to make easy conversations, steal the green straws you like
I thought maybe this is heaven, or maybe just the ninth floor of a holiday inn
Maybe I'm afraid to say you're my best friend, maybe I'm afraid to let you slip from my brain
Maybe I'm afraid to sing before the good part ends, maybe I'm afraid of the change like you keep in your pocket
Like you keep in your pocket, like you keep me in your pocket
Like you keep in your pocket, like you keep me in your pocket
