Atlantic Wasteland - Hesperus Lyrics

And Tom said to me
I've seen the way you look at her
You can't focus, you're distracted
Well shit, I guess I've heard that one before

And Taylor said to me
I've seen the way you act with her
You know it's been a long time coming
Well shit, I guess it's too late to ignore

You have to understand
The guts it took to tell you the truth
I was terrified that I'd screw it all up
And I'd leave that wedding without you
But I know that you don't feel the same
And you just don't wanna see us in that way
But remember this until the very end
Cuz in me you'll always have a best friend

We sat outside of the Ridgewood
On a bench, all by ourselves
As I laid it out for you to hear
And losing you was my biggest fear
But you laughed, and you smiled
As you laid it out for me too
It wasn't exactly what I wanted to hear
But no, it wasn't the end of me and you

You have to understand
The guts it took to tell you the truth
I was terrified that I'd screw it all up
And I'd leave that wedding without you
But I know that you don't feel the same
And you just don't wanna see us in that way
But remember this until the very end
Cuz in me you'll always have a best friend

I've said it before
And I'll say it again
When I'm with you
I'll enjoy anything
A road trip to Carolina
Or Stonewall Jackson Park
It doesn't matter, no it doesn't matter
Cuz with you, I'd watch fucking paint dry

I remember Coldstone out in Hermitage
And concerts down in Pittsburgh
Late night drives, bars and fries
And sleeping on hardwood surfaces
I remember movies in your room
You coming to our shows
And holding your cup at the bar while you vommed
And dancing relentlessly to Stacy's Mom

You have to understand
The guts it took to tell you the truth
I was terrified that I'd screw it all up
And I'd leave that wedding without you
But I know that you don't feel the same
And you just don't wanna see us in that way
But remember this until the very end
Cuz in me you'll always have a best friend
