about

I wrote this song about a friend who started dating some guy none of us were fond of. She supposedly started using drugs, harder than we were used to.

When I lost touch with her, perhaps as a way of getting back at her, I placed myself in the role of the do-good, concerned friend in this song.

This was all done at arm's length of course, because I didn't exactly know what she was up to. This song was just my way of mourning the loss of our friendship.

In retrospect, she was young. We all were, figuring out our identities, trying on different masks. I tried on my share of masks too.

lyrics

My friend, I hope she’s not favoring a darker night
All she got is a comb that looks like a pocketknife
She’s gold, she is my one and only
I should’ve told her so
But I’m so afraid that she’ll be on her way
And I’ll lie, tell her I believe every word she says
But I’ve no idea what she’s going near
With her eyes and all her calamities collide

Cause she left me and I’m rolling down her windows
And I’m cold and sick of missing her
Will the fun that she’s been searching for ever end

In the dark roads of Montclair, New Jersey
There’s a girl who’s lost
Casper, help her find her way
Saint Augustine, you say let her be what she wants to be
I’m thinking I let her burn

Cause she left me and I’m rolling down her windows
And I’m cold and sick of missing her
Will the fun that she’s been searching for ever end

Cause she left me and I’m rolling down her windows
And I’m cold and sick of missing her
Will the fun that she’s been searching for ever end
