Of Montreal - My Friend Will Be Me lyrics

I wish I knew a man Someone to steal me From this sadness I wish I knew a girl Who'd run her fingers Through my hair and kiss me Wish I didn't have to pretend That when I'm talking to the floor I'm talking to you If I had a friend then Such stupid things I'd never have to do I wish I had a friend I wish I knew a man One who'd help me to stop disguising my feelings I wish I knew a girl Who'd keep me from silencing my heart's voice Oh I wish I didn't feel like an island No country will claim Wish I had a friend who'd stop me From falling into this depression all over again I wish I had a friend like that But I know it will never be So that friend for me has to come from inside of me My friend will have to be me I wish I knew a man Someone to help me stop being self conscious I wish I knew a girl One to take away my fear of dying I wish I weren't afraid that some spirit Will come out of the darkness and carry me away I wish I had a friend whom if that happened Would storm right in and save the day I wish I had a friend like that But I know it will never be So that friend for me has to come from inside of me My friend will have to be me
