lyrics

he was a man without a plan
searching for whatever felt nice
he roamed the halls and stalked the land
trying to find some good advice

he never could look you in the eye
he was afraid of what you might find
he never wanted to lie
but he knew he sounded silly when he talked of the signs

one day he met a nice girl
but it had been so long since he had touched someone
he asked her to share her soul
he wondered if he could still have fun

he said...

dear girl, won't you be my friend
I like you so much and I'm scared of the end
I know I've done some things that make me sad
but I don't think I'm all that bad

she was a mystery, she was anybody
she made him laugh, and that was enough for him
they had never been alone before
but he figured that's what rooms are for

he sat alone in his room
he wondered if he was making any sense
the clock was ticking, his money was spent
was there any reason not to take a chance

dear girl, won't you be my friend
I don't know you but I'm scared of the end
I know I've done and said all kinds of stuff
but I'm still here and that's enough

dear girl, won't you be my friend
it's a big world and I'm scared of the end
I'm a sap raised on Disney endings
but I'm hoping to write my own

won't you help me
I'll help you with yours
