Joining You Lyrics

dear dar(lin') 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

 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

 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 mindboggling you were intense

 you were uncomfortable in your own skin you were thirsty but mostly you were beautiful

 if we were our nametags

 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

 you and I we're like 4 year olds we want to know why and how come about everything

 we want to reveal ourselves at will and speak our minds and never talk small and be intuitive

 and question mightily and find god my tortured beacon

 we need to find like-minded companions

 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 obsession

 if we were our afflictions i'd be joining you

 we need reflection we need a really good memory feel free to call me a little more often
