Verse 1

Dear dar(lin') your mom my friend left a message on my machine
She was frantic saying you were talking crazy 
That you wanted to do away with yourself 
I guess she thought I'd be a perfect resort
'cause we've had this inexplicable connection since our youth 
C5 Ab5* C5
And yes they're in shock, they are panicked
Ab5* C5
You and your chronic them and their drama
Ab5* Gsus4 G
You, this embarrassment, us in the middle of this delusion

Chorus

If we were our bodies, if we were our futures
if we were our defenses I'd be joining you   
If we were our culture, if we were our leaders
if we were our denials I'd be joining you   

Verse 2

C5 Ab5* C5 Ab5*
I remember vividly a day years ago, we were camping
you knew more than you thought you should know
Ab5* Gsus4 G
You said "I don't want ever to be brainwashed"
C5 Ab5* C5
and you were mindboggling, you were intense
Ab5* C5
You were uncomfortable in your own skin
Ab5* Gsus4 G
You were thirsty but mostly you were beautiful

Chorus

If we were our nametags, if we were our rejections
if we were our outcomes, I'd be joining you   
If we were our indignities, if we were our successes
if we were our emotions, I'd be joining you   

Verse 3

You and I we're like four year olds
We want to know why and how come about everything
We want to reveal ourselves at will and speak out minds
C5 Ab5* C5
And never talk small and be intuitive
Ab5* C5 Ab5*
And question mightily and find god, my tortured beacon
We need to find like minded companions

Chorus

If we were their condemnations, if we were their projections
if we were paranoias I'd be joining you   
If we were our incomes, if we were our obsessions
if we were our afflictions I'd be joining you   

Outro

We need reflection, we need a really good memory
feel free to call me a little more often
