Writing Letters to my Friends lyrics
by The Flat Stanleys
[Verse 1]
I have dreams about
Planes and cars and motorcycles and
Crashing all of them
And I have dreams where I'm
Trapped alone in a subway car
As the water main breaks and the water seeps in
I'm writing letters to my friends
And I have dreams where I can talk to strangers in public and not sh*t myself
And they wouldn't be so mean
[Chorus] (not repeated)
Communication is important I reassure you
As you let out all your feelings
And I strangle all my thoughts with electric cords and phone chargers
And whatever I can find around the housе
[Verse 2]
I need more leg room in the backsеat, but you are sleeping
And I don't want you to wake up
'cause if you do we'll probably fight about your parents
And how you talk too much
And how nobody knows exactly what you mean
But you're asleep for now and I'm aware of that
So I'll repeat what you said and pretend like I know what it means
And that it wasn't so mean
[Bridge 1]
And I have dreams where I wake up
And I am covered in tattoos of your name all over my body
But I can't remember what any of them mean
And I have dreams where my ex girlfriend pins me down in bed
And she punches my face repeatedly until I fall asleep
[Verse 3]
And I have dreams we're at a concert with your friends in north Virginia
And I'm duct taped to the kitchen floor
And the basement's on fire
I can feel the heat
f*ck all their teachers and f*ck all their parents
I bought you this t shirt
You said "Brian I'm not gonna wear this."
They got all their cars; they got all their money
They still don't know how to act when they're not with each other
[Bridge 2]
I heard screaming from the locker room that I could not ignore
I heard awkward conversations get dropped cold and hit the floor
[Verse 4]
And I've been sleeping on the floor for the past
Month you're making me anxious
In order to fall
Down during panic attacks
I start on the ground
There's nowhere to go
I've thrown up in nine different parking lots in the past week
Because my body hates itself
And it won't let me eat without throwing up
I call it letting it go
[Outro]
You're not the only one who's terrified that I'm moving to the city
But please calm down you're making it hard
But I have to go
Maybe college won't pan out
And I'll disappoint my parents
And I'll be homeless
And I'll live in your bed if you still want me to
But I cannot f*cking know
