The Goo Goo Dolls : "January friend"

 

Reach for higher ground
About the way you look
The way you scream out loud Mine
Just like the last time
It's all the same to me
She said Let's pretend
My January friend
I'm wanting you again
I wanna touch ya
Every single heart that beats
Pretend

My January friend
I'm wanting you again
I wanna touch ya
Every single heart that beats Cry
Don't cry out loud
You've gotta bear your cross but never dream too loud
And you're tied
Tied to the next time
You realize your crimes Let's pretend
My January friend
I'm wanting you again
I wanna touch ya
Every single heart that beats
Pretend

My January friend
I'm wanting you again
I wanna touch ya
Every single heart that beats Time stood still Monday mornin' yeah
Showed me what I had to see
It's not the way I thought it should be You're my January friend
You're my January friend
You're my January friend
And every heart that beats pretend

Oh January friend
You're my January friend
You're my January friend
You're my January friend
And every heart that beats tonight's
PretendChorus:
Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sitting
In the old man's bar
Waiting for his turn to die
The cowboy kills the rock star
And Friday night's gone too far
The dim light hides the years
On all the faded girls
Forgotten but not gone
You drink it off your mind
You talk about the world
Like it's someplace that you've been
You see you'd love to run home
But you know you ain't got one
And you're livin' in a world
That you're best forgotten around here

Chorus

You choke down all your anger
Forget your only son
You pray to statues when you sober up for fun
You anger don't impress me
The world slapped in your face
It always rains like hell on
the losers' day parade
You see you'd love to run home
But you know you ain't got one
'Cause you're livin' in a world that you're best forgotten
And when you're thinkin' you're a joke
Do you think that they'll listen to the one small point
I know they been missin' round here

Chorus
