Friendly Fire

Jawbreaker
(album: Etc.)

Walked beyond the fence,
played outside our yard.
You took it hard.
Through a one-way door
hinged high on doubt.
No ins, no outs.

I like my clothes.
Don´t want to grow.
I´ll wait around
´til you say go.

The lights were off
when I got home.
Black room, blue phone.
Don´t I know your name?
Weren´t we almost friends?
Guess that depends.

Take some benefit
with all your doubt.
If this is principle,
I´m dropping out.

You demonize
so you don´t look so bad.
You wouldn´t take
what you couldn´t have.
My back is warm
with your friendly fire.
I know you´re trying.
Could you please aim it higher?

So alone I wrote,
I wrote this will.
I will decline.
This fish ain´t big.
This pond is small.
So small of mind.

I like my clothes.
Don´t want to grow.
I´ll wait around
´til you say go.

You demonize
so you don´t look so bad.
You wouldn´t take
what you couldn´t have.
My back is warm
with your friendly fire.
I know you´re trying.
Could you please aim it higher?
