Flannery O'connor

I remember when we met The second time I was drunk Stumbling through the party with a liter of wine Hitting on anyone I remember what you said Or most of it anyway We spoke about Flannery O'Connor You stole my heart clean away Third time we played a game of cards with a mutual friend And I sat down next to you And I laughed way too loud when we touched hands Been together about a month I turned around and it was love You went on and said it first and I got real mad at myself I don't remember much but I'll remember you Lot of folks call me a liar but I'll be true too I've done a lot of dirty things but I'll get clean soon Cuz you make me the happiest I've ever been Some years ago I fronted a band Because oh man oh man I love to sing I was walking with some funny folks We never did too much of anything Before I left they threw me a party They all begged me to stay Well I never heard from them again after that day But lately, I don't want to be a rockstar so much anymore I guess I knew too many who grew up and grew old and died And were always so goddamn poor Told that to an ex of mine and she said aw baby, it's okay If we're being honest you never sounded crazy good anyway I don't remember much but I'll remember you Lot of folks call me a liar but I'll be true too I've done a lot of dirty things but I'll get clean soon Cuz you make me the happiest I've ever been And the only thing I really knew about Flannery O'Connor Was that she died of Lupus just like her father And that she had a whole menagerie of exotic birds Because the toucan was my favorite animal But I never read a single word I don't remember much, but I'll remember you Lot of folks call me a liar but I'll be true too I've done a lot of dirty things but I'll get clean soon Cuz you make me the happiest I've ever been You make me the happiest I've ever ever ever ever ever You make me the happiest I've ever been
