Social Development Dance - Pete Yorn

I remember the first time I saw you

You were drifting down Crouse Avenue

You looked like a hot-country-Vermont

Though my eyes were never that good

Your head seemed to hold itself up high

On that long thin neck of yours

You glanced back although we never had passed

You lit a cigarette and smiled

And when we kissed it was electric

Chemists made us for each other

But I was far from being your only one

My roommate said he’d seen you before…

Shit

There’s something missing in us

We try to make it whole

Though it never feels like it, I know you have it all

There’s something missing in us

We long to make it whole

Though it never feels like it

I know you have it all

I know you have it all

We went to the social development dance

The whiskey went down easily

You kissed the best you had enormous breasts

And we wandered out really early

We were neighbors for a very short time

It all worked out quite wrong

When your boyfriend called

You pressed against the wall

…"oh I really gotta go now"…

There’s something missing in us

We try to make it whole

Though it never feels like it, I know you have it all

There’s something missing in us

We long to make it whole

Though it never feels like it

I know you have it all

I know you have it all

We’d move away when the winters were gone

I think I saw you once in the city

I heard you were staying up North with a friend

And that your hair was falling out

I tried to find out what had happened to you

I Googled you in quotes, got no results

I never learned how you had died

But I knew how you had lived

There’s something missing in us

We tried to make it whole

Though it never felt like it I know you had it all

There’s something missing in us

We longed to make it whole

Though it never felt like it, I know you had it all

I know you had it all

Friend my friend, you left us in the end

Friend my friend, you left us in the end

Friend my friend, you left us in the end

Friend my friend, you left us in the end

I remember the last time I saw you

You were floating down Crouse Avenue
