Faraway Friend

Hello there, faraway friend.
Do you dream dreams you wish would never end?
Do you watch girls in red dresses do circle dances,
Dreaming of boys and second chances?

Hello there, faraway friend.
I can tell you'd like to make amends.
How? By the salty stream coming from your eyes,
You're drowning in a pool that's nearly sky high.
Your hands are quivering,
It's not 'cause it's cold.
But you dream of a boy,
A boy who's so bold.

A man who holds your hand and will ask you to dance,
No boys with long hair and skinny pants.
In his eyes, you see lies, and that's not what you want.
You want a man who's confident, but not one that flaunts.

So, faraway friend, what will you do now?
You're searching for someone so bold.
You're much too shy yourself, you're shaking in your boots,
And I can tell it's not from the cold.

What will you ever do, dearest friend of mine,
You're lying to yourself, you're sitting on the shelf,
You're crying yourself to sleep.
What will you ever do, faraway friend of mine,
You're lying to yourself, pretending you're someone else,
You're such a fucking sheep.

Faraway friend, grow some balls, and admit your fears,
If to no one but yourself.
I'll be proud of you, I'll wipe away your tears,
Stop pretending you're somebody else.
