It’s a beautiful day
Go on, get out, make the rounds
Make new friends
Well, I wish I could
But I’ve never been good with my hands
A little patience, a little more glue
And a little diplomacy
I’d rather sit and complain that my model train
Never starts a conversation with me
I’ve got an elusive friend in you
Not exactly fair weather
But you’re better when the sky turns blue
Well, I found a good spot to lurk
I’m still learning how to network
But I’m an expert at passing up a drink
And all my psychic powers
Getting drained by the hour
This bar’s too loud to hear myself think
I’ve got an elusive friend in you
Not exactly fair weather
But you’re better when the sky turns blue
I’ve got an elusive friend in you
We’re a plausible fit
But you’re scared to commit
I think it’s time we have the small talk
You should know what you’re getting into
See, I’m prone to paranoia
Don’t leave me room to second guess
I mistake manners for affection
And quick goodbyes for callousness
Point taken
I’ve not been forsaken
It’s just a rain check
I’ll take what I can get
I put my faith in a fable
Knights of the cool kids table
I’m bad with names, have we met?
You’ve got an elusive friend in me
Not exactly fair weather
Not a state of emergency
You’ve got an elusive friend in me
Not exactly fair weather
But I’m better with a gentle breeze
You’ve got an elusive friend in me
If you’ve got a moment to share
I’ll be there to a certain degree
You’ve got an elusive friend in me
Not exactly fair weather
But you better not let me freeze
