Facing New York
"Me n My Friendz"

I’m screwing college freshman
and desperate housewives
Could it be I’m stuck dead center between my teens and my thirties?
Envisioning how my children would look if I had ‘em with the woman in the checkout line in front of me
Maybe they’d look like my last girlfriend
19, English major, diet coke-head
Treats me more like a big brother helpin with homework
But I see her like a mother
My head on her chest, her hand on my shoulder

Me and my friends are all waiting for somethin
But we don’t know what it is
Say are you my friend? I only know one thing
But I don’t know what it is

But I was too into her
I had to get out
I needed someone my age who could talk about campaign finance reform
And the Velvet Underground
Well the truth is
I can’t stand Lou Reed
But there’s something noble about dating women you’re not attracted to right?
Or fucking men when you’re straight right?
It’s that, wow… I’m a 21st century dude
Unlike my father who pronounces Vegan “Vagan” voted for Ragan and is so old

Me and my friends are all waiting for somethin
But we don’t know what it is
Say are you my friend? I only know one thing
But I don’t know what it is
I don’t know what it is

Well the truth is
I feel age creepin’ on me real slow n quiet like
Like a freight train made of screaming babies
So me n my friendz drink like fishies to reduce the IMPACT
Self medicating through anonymous sex
And the occasional hungover moment of insight
Spoken aloud, but no one’s listening
Walkin home with a headache and smokey hair
So I checked
And my sent message is
To see who I’m, I’m in love with
And it, it turns out it’s you this week
Congratulations girl
We could get Japanese food or coffee
Dip our hands in culture
Before we put em on eachother
Man, I don’t know what love is but I wanna find out, Hey!
I don’t know, no
I wanna fall in love
But I don’t know what it is
