The American Analog Set — A Good Friend Is Always Around lyrics

Lyrics

Hopes pretending, it’s timber on the fire
Embers free the cinders and send them ever higher
I dreamed I saw you when you’re old and tired
Afraid to move your hands and expose the wires
We can’t be caught and can’t stay here with
Heat close by and you’re insides spilled
And do your friends know the way to go
When they leave your hands the chamber’s empty glow
It’s a lonely ending when your heart’s grown cold
The kid is bored pretending, now you’ll never grow old
We can’t be caught and can’t stay here while
Guilt sets in with night’s cool chill
