Old Friend
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Hello and welcome to summer
Have you met my brother?
He currently takes medication
To help him make peace with
The genius inside him
You are a curious kind
Old friend of mine
So pass me that bottle
Then pass me a song
We've been through so much together
Has it really been that long?
Hey meet me in the aisle
We'll talk about Sonic Youth
Did you know the Beatles were talking to you
When they said all you need is love
And that's what you'll find
You are a curious kind
Old friend of mine
