Someone Like a Friend

[Verse 1] I don't need someone to talk to I guess I'll get suppressed I'm not allowed to write songs about him When I'm actively upset There's coyote screams down my street Less menacing than the look he gives We're not choking 'cause we're feisty anymore We're just trying to break each other's necks [Chorus] I-I need someone to talk to When I'm not feelin' right I-I need someone to treat me like a child 'cause I'm Still afraid of the dark I need, I need someone to have dance parties with When I get drunk and won't Stop crying, baby (Baby, here it goes) I can feel another wave coming on Tonight [Verse 2] I need someone new to talk to I'll go and check who's left I won't write a song about someone Unless I'm actively obsessed So many venues haunted by the ghost of you I can hardly make it through our set I'm sending you songs and signs through a tin can string Anything to hear from you again [Chorus] I-I need someone to talk to When I'm not feelin' right I-I need someone to treat me like a child 'cause I'm Still afraid of the dark I need, I need someone to argue 'bout the Beatles with When I get drunk and won't Stop trying, baby (Baby, here it goes) I can feel another wave coming on Tonight Tonight [Bridge] Maybe you could kiss me like the sand beneath the water Maybe you could kiss me like you're glad you don't have a daughter Maybe you could kiss me like you wish you could break all my bones Maybe you could kiss me like a friend Like a friend Please won't you believe me when I say that I'm upset? Please won't you believe me when I say that it's real bad? Please won't you believe me when I say that I'm obsessed? Please won't you believe, believe, believe, believe me? [Chorus] I-I need someone to talk to When I'm not feelin' right I-I need someone to treat me like a child 'cause I'm Still afraid of the dark I need, I need someone to have dance parties with When I get drunk and won't Stop crying, baby (Baby, here it goes) I can feel another wave coming on Tonight [Outro] I-I need someone to talk to When I'm not feelin' right I-I need someone to treat me like a child 'cause I'm Still afraid of the dark I need, I need someone to hold my hand in the car When I'm not even drunk, I just Miss your guts so goddamn much I'm tired of pretending like this isn't fucked And I'm done hiding Done lying to Tonight
