Fairweather Friends

Vanessa Carlton · Rabbits On The Run [2011]

Say you see through the folly but you do it for the fame

and I'm fighting the jetstream drinking cheap wine on aeroplanes

You're in LA not Chicago

key on the map of the dark ordering in from hello



Mmmmmm



Found your letter on a full moon Sunday night

Some other girl in your spell casting plans for her life

Pour the vodka and the dust sure flies

Breathe the words of diamonds on rings



And you didn't mean to do it

So I don't have to believe it

If you didn't really mean it

Then magical thinking gets us by



Oooooh



Think for the aftershow those candy-coloured lips

Your age is showing and you've gotta work harder for it

It's always easier with freshmen

they're not as clever and she'll bring you alive



And you didn't mean to do it



So I don't have to believe it

If you didn't really mean it

Then magical thinking gets us by



My fairweather friend

Fairweather friend



Live for folly but you did it for the fame

Now you're fragile as pores drinking cheap wine on aeroplanes

Did I ever leave Chicago?

Got your message that you're doing well



And you didn't mean to do it

So I don't have to believe it

If we didn't really mean it

Then magical thinking gets us by



Gets us by, gets us by



You say you see through the folly but you did it for the fame

You say you see through the folly but you did it for the fame

You say you see through the folly but you did it for the fame

You say you see through the folly but you did it for the fame
