Pop Punk Friend Love

you kinda caught me in never love again mode, sitting in the grass just watching it grow ~ I don’t know what to do, how to make it stop, so pop another bottle ‘fore you drop me off ~ you kinda caught me in never say goodbye mode, saying see ya later so we both know that we’ll go separate ways and come back again ~ living’s pretty hard but I have my friends

it’s always just the moment when my mom asks me “how are you” that I just break down (cuz I’m not doing well) ~ and sometimes my friends surprise me when they ask “how can I help you? because I notice now that you’re not doing well” ~ they say “I think you have the guts to handle anything that life throws out ya ~ I will help you however I can ~ yeah sometimes I have shit to deal with, but everyone has shit to deal with ~ so I’ll be there for you long as I can”

are we flirting or are you just really nice? ~ am I someone you think you could like like? ~ either way I’m okay with our friendship ~ but still it’d be chill if you wanted me ~ cuz I want you and I could kiss you right here and now if you wanted me to(o) ~ with all due respect, I’m your friend but I like like you

I want to be inspired ~ I want to retire when I’m 30 or earlier if I can make enough money ~ I never want to apply for a job again ~ I want to be friends with all my ex-lovers ~ I want to spend all day under the covers ~ I want a studio in my garage where I can make arts and crafts for others ~ I wanna make stuff for others ~ I want to teach kids ~ I want to get them excited about writing and reading and being creative ~ I want to feel like I’m helping ~ I want to be needed ~ I want to meet friends of friends and then kiss them ~ I want to tell people I really miss them ~ I want to shout from a mountain ~ that I want these things and I’ll get them ~ yeah I want these things and I’ll get them ~ I want to figure out how to be happy ~ I want to hate myself less, want to be the best I can be (whatever that means) ~ contentment isn’t a pipe dream

Skate Shop Show

I'm sitting in my car in the parking lot of the grade school where I grew up because I'm terrified of my parents knowing I care about writing songs cuz then they'll expect things from me think of their investment in me ~ I want to be in a band really bad but I'm cripplingly afraid of performance so I text my friends already in bands asking if I can just play with them cuz they already have a place to play in I can sing pop punk covers with them ~ at the DIY show at the skate shop I fall in love with the girl from Docks with her Kurt Cobain cardigan making funny faces when she plays the riffs oh God I would kill to be that I guess I'll try to be that ~ oh yeah

I’m listening to Amanda Palmer’s book on Audible ~ that’s the kind of shit I can do now that I work full-time ~ feel like I’m walking a thin line between introversion and voluntary hermitage ~ but between my commute and allergies, I’m way too tired to share my time with another ~ I can only hope you understand ~ yeah it’s hard for me to make new friends, let alone lovers ~ but I’m pretty happy where I am under the covers at the end of a long day of doing what I love getting paid to print a lot of stuff ~ so I’m sorry if I bail on our already postponed plans ~ yeah I’m sorry to reschedule our chance to finally hang out in the dark ~ but I’ve known you for a few years now so I think it can wait

lately my love life has been like trying to tune a mandolin ~ just when I thought it got good, it got fucked up again ~ but now it sounds alright to me ~ I’m sick and tired of saying sorry for my love ~ you don’t want or need me to apologize ~ but I will say sorry if I hurt you, I wanna respect you ~ I wanna love you and I wanna do it right ~ cuz you are like an outdoor couch: just what I need at the time ~ and ain’t that all I can ask for in this rapidly passing life? ~ yeah you’re like an outdoor couch: so comfortable to me ~ why don’t we sit around and just enjoy the breeze? ~ finally I’m speechless, I’m done with nervous talkin ~ I can sit with you in silence and not be distracted while I’m driving ~ I just wanna look at you ~ is that the biggest crime? ~ I’ll try to keep my eyes on the road and you at the same time ~ cuz you are like a wooden chair that stands the test of time ~ the framework is so trusty and the details so refined ~ yeah you’re like a tabletop: supplying fun and games ~ the dungeon master of my heart ~ I hope you feel the same
