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
