Joining You

1. Dear darlin', your mom, my friend left a message

On my machine she was frantic saying you were talking crazy

That you wanted to do away with yourself

I guess she thought I'd be a perfect resort

Because we've had this inexplicable connection since our youth

And yes they're in shock they are panicked

You and your chronic them and their drama

You this embarrassment us in the middle of this delusion

R: If we were our bodies, if we were our futures

If we were our defenses I'd be joining you

If we were our culture, if we were our leaders

If we were our denials I'd be joining you

2. I remember vividly a day years ago we were camping

You knew more than you thought you should know

You said, "I don't want ever to be brainwashed"

And you were mind boggling you were intense

You were uncomfortable in your own skin

You were thirsty but mostly you were beautiful

R: If we were our name tags, if we were our rejections

If we were our outcomes I'd be joining you

If we were our indignities, if we were our successes

If we were our emotions I'd be joining you

3. You and I we're like four year olds

We want to know why and how come about everything

We want to reveal ourselves at will and speak out minds

And never talk small and be intuitive

And question mightily and find god my tortured beacon

We need to find like-minded companions

R: If we were their condemnations, if we were their projections

If we were our paranoias I'd be joining you

If we were our incomes, if we were our obsessions

If we were our afflictions I'd be joining you

We need reflection, we need a really good memory
