lyrics

(This song is about a couple friends of mine
who have a real hard time
accepting credit
for the wonderful things they do for the world
and the people in it
I think I see Johnny and Maggie
in a lot of different folks
in a lot of different ways
and maybe some of the people around me
maybe you guys too
but i guess you listen to the lyrics
find out or something)

Johnny says he's got some big aspirations
Wants to be a movie star,
Director, talk-show personality
The kinda guy you can count on
does a million impersonations
That all stem from his outstanding
Captivating Imagination


Johnny's always got a million things to say
He just don't know how to talk
Never really came out that way
He's got a million places to be
More places to see
But Johnny says "Evan I just wanna be somewhere
somebody actually wants to see me"

I say "Well Johnny how many fingers am I holding up?"
Johnny answers "Four"
I say "Look Johnny you're not blind
what the fuck do yah talk like that for"
Johnny says "I don't know man I just feel like
an absolute total worthless piece of shit sometimes"

Johnny its okay cause I've felt that way myself
Sometimes it gets better
Sometimes it just sucks
So here's to better feelings
Heres to better moods
And fuck all those awful people
that made you feel that way about you

(this next song is about my friend maggie
she's a matyr and an artist
she does these really beautiful paintings
like museum beautiful)

Maggie says that she's encapsulated
With the idea that if she aint an accepted artist
Her Paintings must be shit
But I've never seen a better sight
Than her paint touching the canvas
like she's the last contestant
guessing the jar of jellybeans right
on her first try
Try

Maggie feels she's got a million people to please
from cats and dogs to dads and moms
everybody in between
Cause she's always so concerned
wants to let you know she cares
about the personal level of happiness
of every creature in the solar verse
Except hers

Maggie says "Evan am I worthless
cause I've been hating myself?"
I says "Maggie you know sometimes
even Wonder Woman needs help"
She says " I wish i was her
imagine the things I could be"
I say "It's not so hard to imagine when she's standing here
right next to me"

We fight our different villains
Walk away with different scars
Sometimes they fade away
Sometimes they stick with us
Some scars stick to the skin
Some get buried down inside
Maggie I just hope one day you realize
your scars are beautiful in my eyes
