Brilliant Friend
I don't wanna go with her but I'm sad to see her go
Her mind's so far away
But I'd still like a hand to hold

There are some things I can never un-know
The way you wrote my name
And the way you changed your own

I've wanted to write you a song for so long
But I couldn't say what I knew all along
Tried to catch it before it had gone
Tried to catch it before it had gone all wrong

I had a thought or was it a memory?
About the way it's not, and it was supposed to be

Do I hear the train whistlin' or is the kettle just callin' me
Either way I'm listening for where I'm supposed to be

Did I leave it up high in some forgotten cupboard in the kitchen
I'm just buying some time in the house that I no longer live in
Part of me is just tryin' to find the part of you that's missin'
I've wanted to write you a song for so long
So I could keep playin' along
Tried to catch it before it had gone
Tried to catch it before it had gone all wrong
