I wrote this song when I was 15 about friends that I didn't have yet.
lyrics
I know I'm not that great to look at
and my personality sucks
but I'm not that complicated
so I'll leave it up to luck.
You might not like me for
the person that you see.
But I don't care
what you think about me.
My eyes are bloodshot and dry from not blinking.
I need to stop this ridiculous thinking.
But I'm never happier than when we're singing.
You're my life raft that keeps me from sinking.
My face hurts from smiling
and my chest hurts from laughing.
I think this summer that
we should go rafting.
We could camp out and
look up at the stars.
It doesn't matter just as long
as I'm wherever you are.
My eyes are bloodshot and dry from not blinking.
I need to stop this ridiculous thinking.
But I'm never happier than when we're singing.
You're my life raft that keeps me from sinking.
