about

This is Chapter 2 of my collection of songs called Flashback.

So I’m standing next to the truck with the phone against my ear waiting to see if he’ll pick-up. We haven’t talked for years. Like, dozens of years.

The first ring takes me back to those earliest days. Rewind the timeline. I'm remembering what is was like for a "silent yokem" like me to meet a rambunctious kid like him . . .

lyrics

hanging ‘round you is like a free day at the carnival
with thrills & chills & spills, you know, metaphorical

hanging ‘round you is like a wild ride on the Ferris wheel
or a tilt-a-whirl where the bolts are loose
and the risk is real

it’s the vibe you create
like a chance is there to take
and rules are there to break
in your carnival

you clown around - whoa oh
get my heart to pound - whoa oh
never safe & sound
but I stay amused
with a friend like you

your daredevil stunts teach me to think fast on my feet
like how 'bout that night we had to hide from the police?
we were in the clear
and then “hey coppers--over here!"
there is a dash of fear
in your carnival

you clown around
get my heart to pound
never safe & sound
but I stay amused
with a friend like you

you’re cooking up schemes
i wouldn’t dream of doing on my own
'cause you love to see me
stepping out of my comfort zone
and i'm not just entertained
i will never be the same
you showed me life can be a game
a carnival

so we clown around
get our hearts to pound
never safe & sound
but we stay amused
stay amused
yeah i stay amused
with a friend like you
