Vanessa Carlton ~ Fair-Weather Friends (1st version)

Lyrics:

Say you see through the folly
But you do it for the fame
I'm fighting the jet stream
Drinkin' cheap wine on airplanes

You're in L.A., not Chicago
Key under mat, I walk the dog, order in, home alone

Found your letter on a full moon Sunday night
On your knees in ink you offered a ring, a real life
Pour the vodka, and it dulls sharp knives
Beautiful poetry, but the letter isn't for me

And you didn't really mean it
So I don't have to believe it
If you didn't mean to do it
And magical thinking gets us by

You sing for the after show, those candy colored lips
But your age is showing, and you gotta work harder for it
It's always easier with freshman
I'm just as clever, it's not technically cheating if

I didn't really mean it
So you don't have to believe it
If I didn't mean to do it
And magical thinking gets us by

And you're fragile as porcelain
fragile as porcelain

If you didn't really mean it
And I don't have to believe it
You didn't mean to do it
Then magical thinking gets us by

Gotta get by
Gotta get by
Whatever get us by

We're fair-weather friends

GAH I LOVE HER!! I can't wait for this song to come out! when does it come out btw?

[bEeAatrizZ]

@Echochi1 "Rabbits On The Run" will be out on June 21st. This was the first version of the song, she has changed it a lot since then. Look for the most recent version on YouTube so you won't find it very different when you listen to the album.

[Robeeh2]

Wow, great new song - don't expect anything less from our V x

[FredericoTV]

because sadly if you wanna get famous you gotta take your clothes off on TV :(

[violetgirl1996]

beautiful! can u believe that i was actually disappointed at her new album at first? but after listening to this song, i started listening to the rest of her songs nd they were all beautiful!! haha this is real music

[lightsmirror]

@harveypotato Still this is the first version of the song, not the studio album version(even it if is a old post.) TBH i still prefer this one.

[harveypotato]

You should change the lyrics you have posted now that the album has been released with the lyrics insert and you know what you posted is wrong. :)

@21jd haha that made me giggle =)

@waterkeeper511

So true about Stephan Jenkins. I love the part about "But your age is showing, and you gotta work harder for it"

cause Stephan is getting on abit to be trying to bed college freshman groupies. The more you learn about those two and the reasons they split the more you can appretiate this song and in fact alot of the album.

[MaktabaHalo]

@FredericoTV and the great thing is..she doesn't want the fame :~)

[MaktabaHalo]

OOOOOOOOKMMMMMMMMMMGGGGGG I love this. So Much..it's retty sad how much I've listened to this.

[KendraMiller7]

This song gives me such a good feeling in my gut and i absolutely love it, this song will keep me going.

[21jd]

Just saw her do this live on Friday and loved the song.  Although I thought she was saying "A magical pink earring gets us by." Oh well, can't wait for the album.

[vanessacarlton546]
