lyrics

hazy autumn back in mid-missouri,
the greenery surrendered to the red,
my ears are ringing like tornado sirens
melinda shoots confetti on your bed.

i, i can’t wait till morning comes again
ahah, aha let’s watch the sun wake up
my distant friend.

at halloween, if a kid wants candy
she’s got to tell the homeowner a joke.
a little extra when you stick the landing
you can stop me if you’ve heard this one before

ah, you made your father your best man
ahah, aha, then did the moonwalk for your first dance
aha, lada, your voice keeps breaking up
my distant friend

i know i’m going heavy on the rhetoric, but could i change your mind?
close friends living int he same neighborhood, it just makes sense
convenience-wise

ah, i won't let them draw those curtains just yet
let’s get the gap closed up, my distant friend
