me and tom sat down one night, our goal was to write a song
we didn't want it to be too short, but we didn't want it too long

We can write about politics, we can write about the world
We can write about ourselves, we can write it about girls
But what went thru our heads was to write about this song instead
tom picked up his guitar and he started playing a tune
some words went thru my head and i started singing them too
we can write about our friends
we can write about being blue
we can write about something else
we can write about being without you
but what went thru our heads was to write about this song instead
