Bad Friends

I hear them going out, I hear them coming in
They don't stick around too long
I hear them going out, I hear them coming in
And what they do here isn't wrong

I hear them going out, I hear them coming in
They don't stick around too long
I hear them going out, I hear them coming in
And what they do here isn't wrong

Pulled out of thin air and trapped on paper
Filled in with the blues and green
They won't give you no trouble, they want to be good
They want to be strong and understood

I hear them going out, I hear them coming in
They don't stick around too long
I hear them going out, I hear them coming in
And what they do here isn't wrong

And when we are talking I'm trying to pay attention
But then my phone rings to remind me I need a drink
But like a call to arms or a call back home
You hear a sound that you've always known

Love is not a game that I should play
I think I'll try again some other day
I'm not too competitive, that's for sure
There's other things that I want more
And I know how to get 'em

I hear them going out, I hear them coming in
They don't stick around too long

I hear them going out, I hear them coming in
I hear them going out, I hear them coming in
I hear them going out, I hear them coming in
I hear them going out, I hear them coming in

Well, I get the feeling they think that I can't hear them
But I can hear them loud and clear
I can't explain to you just what they said
But it sure sounds good in my head
