lyrics

I can picture my friend, biting his tongue
Sat on the 8.30 train, across from someone
Reading the book he just finished today
Desperate to know what she thinks, without giving the ending away

I can picture my friend eating alone
Sat waiting for word of tonight from me on the phone
Sober enough or drinking for two
He'll be who you want him to be the second you walk in the room

I see his face in the paper, Lost and Found
Seeking someone to load the gun
Some empty romantic gesture to no one

I can picture my friend shooting the breeze
Sat waiting for autumn, then to fall with the leaves
The park bench girl reading ‘Venus and Mars’...
I can picture my friend feigning an interest in stars
