about

I wrote this song a few years ago after watching two teenage girls on the subway taking selfies, and then I got to thinking about my own friendships right around the time we left for college. James and I recorded this to tape in our living room over 2020 when the world stood still.

lyrics

Just two lonely kids
Looking up at the airport ceiling
I liked your see-through purse
But you saw me at my worst and
I could have planned it better
I couldn’t stand being alone

Went from chocolate to
Perfume and cigarettes
I learned the secret shake
But I couldn’t make the earth quake
I could have planned it better
I couldn’t stand being alone

It was all a laugh
So we took a photograph
But I should have looked into your eyes and said
You mean more than that

Just two lucky kids
Waiting there for the next departure
You were heading West
And I wished you all the best
But I should have held your sweater
I should have given you mine

Wrote you a postcard
With a comic strip in black and white
I said, “I miss you babe”
But it was not the same and
When I wrote that letter
I couldn’t stand being alone

It was all a laugh
So we took a photograph
But I should have looked into your eyes and said
You mean more than that
