Ad Frank - The Five Days We Were Friends lyrics

The five days we were friends Now shine Like a winter break The near connection The sheer affection I would not intimate I wouldn't dare The skin you came By back in junior high Though it had its day Stands in bold relief To your misfit grief We are the same that way At the IHOP You looked like an angel And I looked like a john The patrons there could not disguise The thoughts behind their brittle eyes You took no notice And that makes me wish I could have a sixth Now is that so hopeless And I miss you, hon So we sat us down a while And we tried to reconcile All the hopes and fears The peaks and lulls The obstacles That shape the coming years And all the things I know for sure Like that I never will be yours That inconvenient fact Or that your intuition's wrong And you never will be wrong We are the same like that And I miss you, hon God damn the rumors that ba*tardized Our first hellos and last goodbyes The bookends To the five books on the nightstand Our platonic five-night stand Weren't we just good friends And I miss you, hon Why is it so hard to believe That someone else could see You are the things you hope you are You're all the things you hope you are You're everything you hope you are And I miss you, hon
