The Magazines

You haven't left your house in over a week
Tonight you're thinkin' of goin' out to grab a couple drinks
But you don't wanna see them, no, they don't know who you are
They get a brief glimpse and then you just shut it down
You know you close yourself off

Because they only know what's written in the magazines
They don't know your weaknesses or your dreams
But we wanna see you hangin' downtown again
Baby, we wanna know where you've been

Now you wait for someone to call you
Just so you can not pick up
You know it seems you've been missing the phone calls
More than you've been missing us

And I'll give you your space and I can make a promise
When you finally grow up, I'll be long gone
And I was hopin' my friend, you'd come around
But I can't just stick around and wait for ever

I only know what's written in the magazines
I don't know your weaknesses, I don't know your dreams
I was kiddin' myself to think we were still friends
And maybe we have never been

Will you really do whatever it takes
Or are you too set in your ways?
Could you stand up for yourself
C'mon, say it to my face

I don't wanna read another magazine
I've seen your weaknesses and dreamt your dreams
I've got some time to kill for you my friend
And you know, I always will

I don't wanna read another magazine
I've seen your weaknesses and dreamt your dreams
I've got some time to kill for you my friend
And you know, I always will
