i would have liked to know you when everything in your closet came from the delia’s catalog i think we coulda been best of friends one half of a heart shaped necklace they collect as crime scene evidence and when the news asks for a soundbite concerning my sudden disappearance that night do me a favor... wear the ditsy yellow daffodil print dress it always looked better on you, hand to god just my opinion. wha-wha-what if? wha-wha-what of it? g-got the gift of gab like a g-g-gat at the waistline of my JNCO pants to get us out of any sticky jam i would have liked to know you when the posters on your bedroom wall were all half-dressed babygirl men i think we coulda been best of friends we’d roll your nerdy dice to decide who got the clear standout vocalist and who got stuck with what remained like the one who always wore a vest i guess that’s something? do me a favor... don’t tell me what became of him i’d rather not know he manages a Staples in the Glen wha-wha-what if? wha-wha-what of it? g-got a 必殺技 i been keeping in my back pocket like a friendship bracelet i made on the last train on second thought… maybe we’re better enemies than friends. maybe i’m the one who told everyone you got your period after spilling salsa on your white pants. catch you crying in the girls’ room offer platitudes and head pats bank a cache of sisterhood credit to spend against the assault of the cool girls on my low-level elven princess you’re right, Jenny. maybe we are better enemies than friends. maybe while you were dropping yen on an 絵馬 bearing your heart’s desire i was tongue-deep in the boy you dream about wondering if the mizu shingen mochi would sell out and whether i could keep it all to myself or if the traces of kinako will give away my attempted stealth どんな形でもいいじゃん 君といられるなら それでいい 君が空気で 私が大地 ふたり合わせて 地球になったり 私が警察 君が泥棒 一緒にいられるのは 捕まえてから 署に着くまで そんな短い時間でも まあ、いいかも maybe you were just a girl and i was just a girl ふたりともラップが好きだった ただそれだけで 友達になれたかも wha-wha-what if?
