Old Friends

[Verse 1]
When you’re driving home
From your parents' house
You turn it up until you can’t hear yourself
But you called that night, rambling
Saying things out loud you couldn’t say to anyone else
Now you don’t talk to me anymore
Like I don’t talk to God anymore
But I’ve been praying for your sister
I’d tell you to knock it off
If I weren’t so fucking lost
It’s too hard to resist when

[Chorus]
I know you like the back of my hand
And I can read your future with a glance
I hear what you’re saying in your silence
Like old friends
And these days not much makes sense
But with you I know what I'll get
So I stay on the line ‘til we both go quiet
Like old friends
Not quite old friends

[Verse 2]
And you saw me at my worst
You held me down, ‘cause you were there first
That’s not love
Just mutual assured destruction
I laid naked on your floor
Dying for you to beg for more
I pulled my heart out with my stomach
Screaming “Don’t you want this?”
Maybe you’d still love me dearly
If you didn’t see me so clearly
I hate to admit how

[Chorus 2]
You know me like the back of your hand
And you can read my future with a glance
You hear what I’m saying in my silence
Like old friends
And these days not much makes sense
But with me you know what you’ll get
So you call me late at night and I give you my time
Like old friends
Not quite old friends

[Outro]
I know you like my favorite band
I used to love but now I can’t stand
Now I only hear you in the silence
