Fairweather Friends
Say you see through the follyBut you do it for the fameAnd I'm fighting the jetstreamDrinking cheap wine on airplanesYou're in L.A. not ChicagoKey under matI walk the dog, order inHome alone
Found your letter on a full-moon Sunday nightSome other girl in your spell, casting plans for her lifePour the vodka and it dulls sharp liesBreathe the words of diamonds on rings
And you didn't mean to do itSo I don't have to believe itIf you didn't really mean itMagical thinking gets us by
Sing for the aftershowThose candy-colored lipsYour age is showing and you've gotta harder for itIt's always easier with freshmenI'm not as clever, it should bring you to life
And you didn't mean to do itSo I don't have to believe itIf you didn't really mean itMagical thinking gets us by

And you didn't mean to do itSo I don't have to believe itIf we didn't really mean itMagical thinking gets us by
Gets us byGets us by
