lyrics

I got a letter in the mail from Brian the other day
Five years ago he had us write letters to our future selves
He kept true to his word and mailed them out
Just one reason why Brian's cool as hell

It reminded me when we spent an afternoon at the soda shop
Only cause Brian talked about it nonstop
I was gonna get a cherry lime rickey
But they gave us egg creams on the house

Told Brian all about it the next day
Just to see the smile on face
Timeout he screams
Hands on his shoulders like a football referee

During the excitement his bag gets flipped
He notices and asks if this was some kind of trick
We laugh and say no
Marcin's just opportunistic

Out of all the characters
From bill pilgrim to Randall Patrick
To othello now that's a classic
Brian was the best one of them all
Because he's electric and real and true
And made all those other characters seem like they were too

At the time his yearbook quote didn't seem like an omen
You are not a dime a dozen, you're mr Farrell
And I'm willie loman

Loman
Lo and behold
A song about years made of gold
Lo and behold
A song about staying up all night playing video games and never eating breakfast
Lo and behold a song about the tree hoses we'll never see again
Lo and behold
A song about messing with bulls and getting the horns
Lo and behold an essay about roses
What are thorns?
