Song Lyrics

You said they laid out lots of coke
But you don't know how much you did
Now you don't want me to go home
Because you're afraid you might get sick

Just like the bad news you accept
Just like that boy you're gonna get
It's all just drunken promises
I'll be your friend but you just haven't made me yet

So you come chasing after me
But I'm just barely out the door
Down in the belly of the beast
We waited with the passengers

Just like that train I gotta catch
Just like that song I can't finish
It's the mistake I won't regret
You'll be my friend but I just haven't made you yet
You will be my friend but i just haven't made you yet

You talk like you're drunk
Like you're standing in front of a microphone
And each night it repeats and you fall into me
Like a domino
And you talk when you're drunk
Like you're writing it up for an article
And you think that I lie when I tell you goodbye
And then I've got to go 'cause I've got to go.

But I guess it's a success
We're at our best when you're upset
I'll be your friend but you just haven't made me yet
