"Helen, Oh Helen" lyrics

Helen, oh Helen, oh
I just wanted to give you
Give you your coat back
You left it at my house
Yeah I've been eating
Yeah I've shaved my head
I do it to clear my thoughts
When I'm sad
But hey, what are you doing tomorrow?
I think we should hang out
And talk about the clouds
Like we did
When you come over
When you sleep over
And figure me out

I understand if you're busy
No no what was I thinking
I guess I'm just not used to
You having a schedule
But how have you been, girl?
How's Anthony treating you?
No I don't hate him
What kind of man would I be...
It's just a bit strange
I heard that you loved him
It's been only two months, kid...
You call that real?
But who am I? a walking hypocrite?
No no no no no I'm an idiot
For letting this go
So now I'm gone
I'm going to Bakersfield
Just to get the fuck out of here
And give my chest room to heal
Alright

Oh there I go again
Making these pointless threats
My only fear is that
One day I'll go through with them
Helen, oh Helen
I just wanted to give you
Give you my word that
I'll never change
I'm not asking for the weight of commitment
I just want some coffee, I just want my best friend back
And I know that you've done some thinking
Yeah you've planned out your whole life
But didn't mention my name

Helen, oh Helen
I just wanted to give you
Give you this coat back, and now I'll be on my way
