futon

You’re right, new things are great
They shine and they’re never late
Don’t break down on the interstate
You’re right, new things are great

Good point, money ain’t everything
But honey, having none sure stings
I love angels but I need kings
Good point, money ain’t everything

I know that I can’t buy
Happiness or love or time
But if anything could be mine
Then what I’d do is take Fifth Avenue
Niagara Falls too
And maybe everything blue
And what I’d rather do
Is just stay right here with you
Laying on your futon (futon, futon)
Laying on your futon (futon, futon)

So much for being brave
When chivalry is aftershave
And what you drive is how you weigh in or out
So let’s say hypothetically
That I own the Baltic Sea
To sink or swim, you’ve got to ask please
Would I feel better if I had the keys?

I know that I can’t buy
Happiness or love or time
But if anything could be mine
Then what I’d do is take Fifth Avenue
And what Picasso drew
Or the mountains of Peru
And what I’d rather do
Is just stay right here with you
Laying on your futon (futon, futon)
Laying on your futon (futon, futon)

So c’mon baby, pass the grass
Is the remote underneath your ass?
Cause I can’t find it anywhere
Mmmm baby I should run downstairs
And grab us both a sweet Coldstone
You want a cup or a waffle cone?
Or happiness or love or time?

Or maybe I’ll just take Fifth Avenue
I’ll take the pyramids too
And maybe classes in kung fu or jiu jitsu
And what I’d rather do
Is just stay right here with you
Laying on your futon (futon, futon)
Laying on your futon (futon, futon)
Laying on your futon (futon, futon)
Laying on your futon (futon, futon)

Laying on your futon (futon, futon)
Laying on your futon (futon, futon)
Laying on your futon (futon, futon)
Laying on your futon (futon, futon)

beside you

When your tears are spent on your last pretense
And your tired eyes refuse to close and sleep in your defense.
When it’s in your spine like you’ve walked for miles
And the only thing you want is just to be still for a while

And if your heart wears thin, I will hold you up
And I will hide you when it gets too much
I’ll be right beside you
I’ll be right beside you

When you’re overwhelmed and you’ve lost your breath
And the space between the things you know is blurry nonetheless.
When you try to speak but you make no sound
And the words you want are out of reach but they’ve never been so loud

And if your heart wears thin, I will hold you up
And I will hide you when it gets too much
I’ll be right beside you
I’ll be right beside you

I will stay.
Nobody will break you, yeah.

Trust in me, trust in me.
Don’t pull away
Just trust in me, trust in me.
‘Cause I’m just trying to keep this together,
‘Cause I could do worse and you could do better

Tears are spent on your last pretense
And your tired eyes refuse to close and sleep in your defense.

And if your heart wears thin, I will hold you up
And I will hide you when it gets too much
I’ll be right beside you
Nobody will break you

And if your heart wears thin, I will hold you up
And I will hide you when it gets too much
I’ll be right beside you
Nobody will break you.

here

I’m sorry if I seem uninterested
Or I’m not listenin’ or I’m indifferent
Truly, I ain’t got no business here
But since my friends are here
I just came to kick it
But really I would rather be at home all by myself
Not in this room with people who don’t even
Care about my well-being
I don’t dance, don’t ask, I don’t need a boyfriend
So you can go back, please enjoy your party, I’ll be here
Somewhere in the corner under clouds of marijuana
With this boy who’s hollering I can hardly hear
Over this music I don’t listen to and I don’t wanna get with you
So tell my friends that I’ll be over here

Oh oh oh here oh oh oh here oh oh oh
I ask myself what am I doing here?
Oh oh oh here oh oh oh here
And I can’t wait till we can break up outta here

Excuse me if I seem a little unimpressed with this,
An anti-social pessimist, but usually I don’t mess with this
And I know you mean only the best and
Your intentions aren’t to bother me
But honestly I’d rather be
Somewhere with my people we can kick it and just listen
To some music with the message (like we usually do)
And we’ll discuss our big dreams
How we plan to take over the planet
So pardon my manners, I hope you’ll understand it
I’ll be here
Not there in the kitchen with the girl
Who’s always gossiping about her friends
So tell them I’ll be here
Right next to the boy who’s throwing up ’cause
He can’t take what’s in his cup no more
Oh God why am I here?

Oh oh oh here oh oh oh here oh oh oh
I ask myself what am I doing here?
Oh oh oh here oh oh oh here
And I can’t wait till we can break up outta here

Hours later congregating next to the refrigerator
Some girl’s talking ’bout her haters
She ain’t got none
How did it ever come to this?
I shoulda never come to this
So holla at me, I’ll be in the car when you’re done
I’m standoffish, don’t want what you’re offering
And I’m done talking, awfully sad it had to be that way
So tell my people when they’re ready that I’m ready
And I’m standing by the TV with my beanie low
Yo, I’ll be over here

Oh oh oh here oh oh oh here oh oh oh
I ask myself what am I doing here?
Oh oh oh here oh oh oh here
And I can’t wait till we can break up outta here

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
