Old Friends

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

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 till we both go quiet

Like old friends

Not quite old friends

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

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

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
