"If I Became Friends With The Aliens" lyrics

If I became friends with the aliens
I think that we'd both get along
They wouldn't want me for a benefit
Their problems I couldn't solve

I wouldn't have much I could offer them
We'd probably play catch in the yard
They wouldn't exhaust me or ask me for anything at all

And I wouldn't have planned it, but I'd start understanding
That what I've been searching for is on different planets
I didn't believe it when I couldn't see it
But they're sharing extraterrestrial secrets
Cause I became friends with the aliens

If I became friends with the aliens
I think they'd be pretty confused
Why people on earth are so fucking caught up with cars, and clothes, and shoes
They'd probably laugh at our technology
Cause theirs is just far more advanced
See simple solutions like "take the guns out of your hands"

They wouldn't believe it
The things that they're seeing
With so many issues why won't they stop "tweeting?"
But all is not lost
There's unfortunate cost to learning how to love other like minded beings
So I became friends with the aliens

If I became friends with an alien
I think we'd start falling in love
When I'm at my worst their spaceship would come pick me up

It's out of this world that that seems so unreal
I know it's cliche it's the way that I feel
Sometimes the best things are the things that you get
When you stop looking around and let life do the rest
You'll fall in love then with an alien
It'll make so much sense
Cause you became friends with an alien
