lyrics

You’d come over early afternoon
I was still asleep, you open up the curtains
Sit on my bed, for the sake of the story
Flick through my albums, indulge my knowledge
Make a plan as the evening unfolded
The banter began, for the sake of the story

We love our audience more than each other
It’s better than sex
We don’t care as long as someone bears witness
And we make each other laugh again

We slept tip to toe, you’d check my farts for the smell
From my beard you ate the crumbs that fell
I miss the after party clean up for the sake of the story
Your sister was sick of you defending me
Putting me up on a pedestal
She’d poke fun at you too for the sake of the story

You love your audience more than yourself
It’s better than sex
You don’t care as long as someone bears witness
And you can make us laugh again

Bridge
Love is for the birds, a cop-out and a curse
Put your friends first, love is for the birds
Love is for the birds, love is for the birds
Sheep are in a herd, the darlings never learn
Love is for the birds, freedom is the word
I’m happy just to flirt, love is for the birds
Love is for the birds, love is for the birds
The darlings never learn, love is for the birds

No one came to open up my curtains
Ask me ‘bout my latest album purchase
How do you think that felt for the sake of the story
You found a new crowd and I approved of your lover
Of course you love me like a brother
I could speak fondly of you for the sake of the story

I love my audience more than you
It’s better than sex
I don’t care as long as someone bears witness
And I can make you laugh again
