Jeffrey Lewis - New Old Friends lyrics

She's sorry that she missed the party She guesses that she didn't see the point Stay out and get drunk and wake up in a funk She could meet someone if she tried But new old friends take time She knows you want to help her for sure And she knows she's not trying your cures She could choke 'em on down but lets be serious now She could meet someone if she tried But new old friends take time It really hits her when the goodbyes happen This life of loss, fights and funerals too The new people we meet and the new babies Just don't affect us the way those things do She says maybe it's just that humans aren't Equipped to feel improvements But maybe its just things happen fast and new old friends take time. She's sorry that she missed the feast And didn't hit your record release She says they're all beasts and the forest repeats But she could meet someone if she tried But new old friends take time She says she's not stingy with the water She says she's not stingy with the seeds She says she watches ‘em grow and then she watches ‘em go She could meet someone if she tried But new old friends take time It really hits her when the goodbyes happen This life of loss, fights and funerals too The new people we meet and the new babies Just don't affect us the way those things do She says maybe it's just that humans aren't Equipped to feel improvements But maybe its just things happen fast and new old friends take time.
