SUGAR TWIN from HOPESONGS by DC Coast

i met her one night in the hallway
we didn't introduce ourselves like always
it was like a certain something
didn't have to explain anything

a week went by
but then i called her today
she ignored me on the caller display
she thinks i'm just a bothersome cliche
but then she picked up her phone to say:

"i want to be your friend,
but i want someone to love til the bitter end
i've been waiting for a man of biblical proportions
you're just like sugar twin
and you'll never replace the real thing
i've been waiting for a man with radical direction
but i guess you'll have to do..."

stirring the milk in her coffee
overwhelmed with the possibilities
she's been told she has a tendency towards
self blame and self pity
it wasn't me that told her all of those things
maybe i'm just too compassionately left wing
kids wave at us from a school bus
while she's having an emotional fuss

"i wanna be your friend
and i wanna love you to the bitter end
i've been waiting for a time
to express the way i'm feeling
i hope you feel the same way too
forget about sugar twin
what we have can be the real thing
it just takes some time to work it out
but i love you just the way you are"
