Who Really Needs Who - Jens Lekman
January 1st 2018
I'm writing you now
Annika Norlin
From the remnants
of a New Year's Eve
The fog that slithers
through the streets
I'm trying to remember how
You made friends
when you were young
What were those
friendships based on
And what made
them so strong
Francisco was my first friend
He lived 'round the bend
in my neighborhood
He came up one day and asked
Are you a turd
I said I was not he said
Then you're good
He had post traumatic memories
I didn't have any friends
We based our friendship
on our non-turdness
At the time it just made sense
Remember the first time
that we met
That fall in New York
that I want to forget
You asked if someone
had a show for your band
I surprised myself
when I reached out a hand
I was feeling so alone back then
Vulnerable and heartbroken
Despite that people
used to call my name
As I stepped off the Q train
As I stepped off the Q train

I joined a program
where you meet refugees
To feel a bit better
'bout myself honestly
I met Nazir once a week
And we ended up
good friends eventually
He said
Thanks for taking
the time to meet
It's really nice of you
And I wondered
who should be thankful to who
And who really needed who
Who really needed who

It's a miserable
sad and lonely life
You're a slave to your fears
and then you die
Once in a while
the skin becomes thin
You stand there by the door saying
Can I come in
I just want someone to talk to
Well maybe not just anyone
I've always liked
what goes on in your brain
So would you like to correspond
Would you like to correspond
