about

A song about the complexities of being "friends with benefits."

lyrics

Baby bird, I never thought I’d have so much to say.
Now you’ve heard I filled up a whole page, a whole page.
And I’m mad that you inspired a new song,
Cause it’s the first song in a long time, it’s the first song in a long time.
In a long, long time.
And it’s an honor, some people’d say that it’s a real honor.
And you’ve already got too many bullshit honors, honors.
Oh, Angelo, I know you’re just trying to do the right things,
But what you can’t possibly see is that people find it hard to do right by me.
On your bed I felt your balding baby bird head,
While you were telling me about her, about her.
You showed me her videos and I had to admit that she could be a genius,
Even though it pained me to say so, it pained me.
But I thought that it was cool that you and I could play by our own rules.
I was just trying my best to do right by our arrangement, arrangement.
Oh, Angelo, I know you’re just trying to do the right things,
But honesty is my vice.
That’s how I make it hard for people to be nice.
When I passed by you two tonight, oh boy, was I surprised.
And I was mad, you could have said that you wanted to see her instead, her instead.
Now I’m trying to play it cool, see how long I can go without talking to you.
Sure I could change the name, but it already goes with the flow.
With the flow.
Oh, Angelo, I know you just want to do the right things.
But you can’t win in our game.
There’s always going to be a choice to make.
