I'm so happy 'cause today I found my friends, they're in my head


I'm an empty promise;
You're an empty threat,
But I swear that we'll
Make something out of it yet.

You're in my head
And you're in my heart,
You've been in my arms
Since the very start.

I know how you feel,
I don't know what you see.
I'm not those other guys.
They've got it all on me.

You're hard to please
And you're hard to get,
But you're bigger than
The goals I haven't met.

I'm not that tall
And I'm not that smart,
But I can work wonders
With my works of art.

I know how you feel,
I don't know what you see.
I'm not those other guys.
They've got it all on me.

This is a situation I'm worried will happen to me. I'm thinking of being a music major in college. It's about an artist (musician, poet, painter, or whatever you want him to be) who loves a girl and wants to marry her, but he can't get on his feet financially, so he can't provide for her.
