I want to let this write itself,
Although it’ll be left on the proverbial shelf
Overlooked and underplayed
This one song will not be swayed.

I know a girl who makes it safer
Her smiles are fake and her tears are paper.
Underneath the surface dust,
You’ll find her world is filled with rust.

Now this girl, this girl and me
We’re best friends, as friends could be.
She takes my hand. She makes me smile.
She lets me know the ‘extra mile’
Now this girl, this girl and me
We’re best friends, as friends could be.

She won’t let you get her down,
She’ll pick herself off of the ground.
She flips you off, but makes you stay.
She lets you know she won’t be swayed.

She and this song, they are alike.
They’re that dying, ending fight.
They’re the last school-bell’s ring
They’re the last fateful swing.

Now this girl, this girl and me
We’re best friends, as friends could be.
She takes my hand. She makes me smile.
She lets me know the ‘extra mile’
Now this girl, this girl and me
We’re best friends, as friends could be.
Full title: Best Friends (As Friends Could Be)

Who is it about? =S I 'nunno. My friends. But I'm the lyricist for my band, currently named Impromptu, and my bassist was about to turn to another person to write lyrics.

So I figured I should put a crap-ass fanfic on hold and start writing songs. Here's the first one I've come up with. The begining was just a way to get the song started; I might change it. But if I don't, I'm meant to be whispering that part, while ~lifeless813 will be singing the rest.

I was trying to write a song out of the ordinary, and most songs that I like seem like they're about love in some way. While this is, it's not that type of love. Platonic love, I would assume. Because it's about how strong my friends are.

Uhhh-m. That's all for now, I guess. =O I don't know what else to say.
