A New Friend

The Good Life · Album Of The Year [2004]

A Valentine's Day party,

I didn't think you'd show.

You don't like making entrances alone;

you've got a new friend...likes to go to movies,

likes to drink red wine.

Sounds familiar, better hold on tight

- a film school drunk can be so hard to find.



You've got a new friend,

and the two of you don't ever seem to part...

now I'm the odd man gone.

You've got a new friend,

and your mom's got you convinced that he's the one -

he's all you need, so forget me -

marry him at once.

But if you ever change your mind...

I could still buy that box of wine.

I still have your copy of Harold and Maude.

But you've got a new friend.
