lyrics

keep thinking about what Chris said in seattle
when we were in the midst of one of our drunken battles
of pinball
he said “you know life is a lot like this game
you lose every single time you play
there is no way to win
no matter how many quarters you put in
but if you’re gonna get banged up and thrown around
you might as well go for the high score
at least try to make it on the leaderboard”
Yeah i think about that a lot on my bad days
and my good ones too
but not as much as i think about you

and that reminds me of what jay told me in vancouver
he said I’d have to change if I didn’t want to lose her
I said I’m not sure if I know how to do that
he put his hand on my shoulder and said
“You have literally never done anything else”
and I guess that helps

Yeah it helps when I think of you in central new jersey
thinking about how you would never hurt me
even if you wanted to
no matter how this ends, know I’ll always be a friend to you
Thinking about you shivering down in central new jersey
and how you’ll be living in Michigan next year
and how much colder you’ll be
I know its crazy but I’m Thinking about how I may be living there with you too soon
because if god were real then they would know
how much I want to be so close to you

hold me against your body
hold me tight against your body
pull me down
show me around this town
when you run your fingers through my hair
you say you’re not a lab rat
but you could still spend the rest of your life in there

God I love you God I love you
more than I hate God
God I love you God I love you
more than I hate the very notion of a god

hold me against your body
hold me tight against your body
pull me down
ease me around montgomery
and run your fingers through my hair
I will be your cuddly wuddly teddy bear
