A Friend
i wonder if maybe
i'm driving myself crazy
i wonder blindly
if maybe i'm heading down the
wrong path in life
so i'll call you up
and wonder aloud to you
because you've got
an unbiased approach to life
and a sympathetic ear
in a way you are me
you are a distorted reflection
of myself
maybe i'm a distorted reflection
of you
either way we're like
two pieces of a puzzle
that fit perfectly
yet go in different places
i don't know many people
the way i know you
and not many people
know me the way you do
i wonder if maybe
just maybe
we were separated at birth
if we were i should put you
in a box and keep you forever
and not throw you away
you know what i'm talking about
i've got a box around here
somewhere
and you surely have
several in your closet
so i'll box you up
and you can box me
and we'll both continue
to see ourselves in each other
and i'll continue to wonder
if maybe i'm
driving myself crazy
and you can assure me
that i'm not
