We'd fly around
Like unicorns
With such genuine excitement
Then we'd linger by the thorns
A metaphor for every teenage boy
It's all about the pain that you enjoy
From job to job
You're cold as stone
It's a drone, it's only static
Til they call you on the phone
Every nook and cranny holds surprises
I overanalyze and wear disguises
But I never knew the friends had
Until they left the earth
They vanish
They linger
They're oh so near
And oh so far at once
We'd cut a rug
Then break apart
And you'd rip up all our inside jokes
And drop kick our hearts
A hand I held is six feet under ground
I'll stand above and I won't make a sound
But I never knew there's danger
When you're doing all your stunts
When time's up
It's over
You're oh so near
And oh so far at once
