New song. This one showed up pretty "realized."

lyrics

DOESN'T TAKE TOO MANY FRIENDS, REALLY, ONLY ONE words & music: bill mallonee/BMI 2016

1. soundchecks & rendezvous; always charged deja vu.
then again there are thin places that will call
there are symbols veiling secrets;
too much light and they vanish
words soaked in heartache?
we're always my downfall

Chorus: No, it doesn't take too many friends
most of mine are gone
doesn't take too many friends
really, only one...really only one

2. tweed amps breaking up too loud;
"devil-may-care" college crowd
the melody of here & now with a 6-string drag
pawn shop guitar with the finish worn off;
you ureally ought see to that cough
It's hard to get found...and easy to get lost

it doesn't take too many friends
to get the job done
doesn't take too many friends
really, only one

3. Now, there's some thing youi can rejoice in
and there's so much to grieve
things you hold too tight, til the life just leves
bring it all out in the open; bring it all into the light
whatever it is you're showing...it'll be alright

No, it doesn't take too many friends
most of mine are gone
doesn't take too many friends
really, only one
