For Me
Music and Lyrics by Julean Rai (BMI)
All Rights Reserved.

Banging on the frame
Of my window-screen
Can't stay long...
That's why we chose the morning.

I was lying on the couch
Groggy, but awake
Sure I love to pro-test...
But we know it's okay.

Chorus:
And oh, we planned to do this thing today
Like, yesterday.
And the morning sun
Was streaming in.

And we gathered up the things we need
For the thing
When you came for me,
For me.

Verse:
To the riverside
Right by where I live
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na...)
Strolling down the banks...
Collecting twigs.

We were the best of friends
Brothers, in a way
I would bring the air...
And you the common ground to bind us there.

Chorus:
And we together, where the world would spin
The best of friends.
And I would have called on you,too
Old friend.

Verse:
Put them in a cross
In the muddy grass
Try to light a flame...
But it won't catch.

Chorus:
And oh, we tried until the sky turned blue
From golden hues.
And oh, we tried to crumble paper up, but
It got wet too...
And we decided that we'd give it up
And go to school...
(Or at least you
And I'm not gonna' keep you out.)
And you, you brought along a can of fish
So we had breakfast
You said you found it...
I think it was sturgeon!

Looking back, I always think
You rose up at three
And you came for me
Yes, you came for me
And you came for me,
Yes, you came for me.
And you came for me...

For me.
