More Than Romantic Love

[Verse 1]
You seem so sullen and listless
Head lowdown and soft spoken
Winter blues and egg shell haze, and
Saturday cartoon whiplash repair
Rashomon and fourth wall reflex
Vacuum packed and cold cryogen
Avoidance end-game bullshit, and
Cognitive dissonance therapy
Stare off into distance space
Horizon to anywhere but here
Quick draw in anger, retort
But Desperado still lost the war
Like a nouveau country ballad
Artificial sweetened aspartame
Like a New York City lawyer
Insulated from expression

[Chorus 1]
But I haven't really seen you lately?
I haven't really seen you lately?
But didn't you know that our friendship is
More powerful than your romantic love for me?

[Verse 2]
Fight to keep up conversation but
Conversation it kills these days
Energy sink up all emotion
Suck up the room of its oxygen
Marijuana daydream fortress
Imaginarium withdrawal
Saturday morning breakfast champion
Recuperate up in Greyskull
Separation anti anxiety
New England passive-aggression
Seasonal affective mood disorder, or
Every February mid-month despair
The worst thing is a taste of sweetness
Suddenly gone and without a trace
Gut punch in reverse, baby
Doubled over in breathlessness

[Chorus 2]
But, I haven't really seen you lately?
I haven't really seen you lately?
I haven't really seen you just outside
The steps of school the past few days
And how're you doing this week?

[Verse 3]
I still remember the moment lately
Scatterbrained manic and nervous then
I still remember the panic maybe
Gentleman caller or awkward friend
Nevermind that I'm a mustang baby
Never let up on the octane friend
Never give up on a good thing generally
Nevermind it was the worst year then
I still remember the best days lately
Evergreen stretch and walking slow
Circles out in Washington Square
I still remember High Line
Nevermind that I'm a wanderer mainly
Nevermind that i was a wild one then
Better if you don't think of me greatly
Better if you don't remember friend

[Chorus 3]
But it doesn't mean I don't think about you
It doesn't mean I don't think about you
Yeah, it doesn't mean I don't think about you
Late at night in silence and tell me
How's your dad doing this week?
