Of Montreal - My Friend Will Be Me lyrics

I wish I knew a man

Someone to steal me

from this sadness

I wish I knew a girl

Who'd run her fingers

through my hair and kiss me

Wish I didn't have to pretend

That when I'm talking to the floor I'm talking to you

If I had a friend then

such stupid things I'd never have to do

I wish I had a friend

I wish I knew a man

One who'd help me to stop disguising my feelings

I wish I knew a girl

Who'd keep me from silencing my heart's voice

Oh I wish I didn't feel like an island

No country will claim

Wish I had a friend who'd stop me

From falling into this depression all over again

I wish I had a friend like that

But I know it will never be

So that friend for me has to come from inside of me

My friend will have to be me

I wish I knew a man

Someone to help me stop being self conscious

I wish I knew a girl

One to take away my fear of dying

I wish I weren't afraid that some spirit

Will come out of the darkness and carry me away

I wish I had a friend whom if that happened

Would storm right in and save the day

I wish I had a friend like that

But I know it will never be

So that friend for me has to come from inside of me

My friend will have to be me
