Lyrics for “Letters to my Friends” by The Flat Stanleys I have dreams about planes and cars and motorcycles and crashing all of them. And I have dreams where I’m trapped alone in a subway car as the water main breaks and the water seeps in I’m writing letters to my friends. ~~~ I have dreams where I can talk to strangers in public and not shit myself and they wouldn’t be so mean. Communication is important I reassure you as you let out all your feelings and I strangle all my thoughts with electric cords and phone chargers and whatever I can find around the house. ~~~ I need more leg room in the backseat, but you are sleeping and I don’t you to wake up ‘cause if you do we’ll probably fight about your parents and how you talk to much and how nobody knows exactly what you mean. But you’re asleep for now and I’m aware of that so I’ll repeat what you said and pretend like I know what it means and that it wasn’t so mean. ~~~ I have dreams where I wake up and I am covered in tattoos of your name all over my body but I can’t remember what any of them mean. And I have dreams where my ex girlfriend pins me down in bed and she punches my face repeatedly until I fall asleep. And I have dreams we’re at a concert with your friends in north Virginia and I’m duct taped to the kitchen floor and the basement’s on fire I can feel the heat. Fuck all their teachers and fuck all their parents. I bought you this t shirt you said Brian I’m not gonna wear this. They got all their cars; they got all their money. They still don’t know how to act when they’re not with each other I heard from screaming from the locker room that I could not ignore. I heard awkward conversations get dropped cold and hit the floor. And I’ve been sleeping on the floor for the past month you’re making me anxious in order to fall down during panic attacks. I start on the ground. There’s nowhere to go. I’ve thrown up in nine different parking lots in the past week because my body hates itself and it won’t let me eat without throwing up I call it letting it go. You’re not the only one who’s terrified that I’m moving to the city, but please calm down you’re making it hard, but I have to go. Maybe college won’t pan out and I’ll disappoint my parents and I’ll be homeless And I’ll live in your bed if you still want me to but I cannot fucking know. Wonderful stream-of-consciousness lyrics! Beautiful, haunting song.. thanks for uploading!
Oh my god I just was talking about this song to my bf. I’ve cried every once in awhile for the past 4 years knowing I’d never hear this again, it got me through probably my absolute worst. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, despite being a complete stranger
does anybody have the my parent's basement session of "all my friends have changed and i have too" ?? been trying to find it for years and i fear ill never hear it again
Lyrics for “Letters to my Friends” by The Flat Stanleys
I have dreams about planes and cars and motorcycles and crashing all of them.
And I have dreams where I’m trapped alone in a subway car as the water main breaks and the water seeps in I’m writing letters to my friends.
~~~
I have dreams where I can talk to strangers in public and not shit myself and they wouldn’t be so mean.
Communication is important I reassure you as you let out all your feelings and I strangle all my thoughts with electric cords and phone chargers and whatever I can find around the house.
~~~
I need more leg room in the backseat, but you are sleeping and I don’t you to wake up
‘cause if you do we’ll probably fight about your parents and how you talk to much and how nobody knows exactly what you mean.
But you’re asleep for now and I’m aware of that so I’ll repeat what you said and pretend like I know what it means and that it wasn’t so mean.
