Never Get To Know Lyrics
He thought he found an answer
He was my friend since kindergarten
And then I watched him disappear
She had a baby when she was sixteen
And now she works in a mall in Florida
Sometimes I wonder who she could have been
She's the one who made me want to be an artist
She could paint the prettiest pictures
Until both her lungs collapsed
He had a low scratchy growl of a voice
He'd sing "make me an angel that flies from Montgomery"
And then he drank himself to death
Because my sister is a crack head
But thank God I remember
When she was just a little kid
Because my dad lives in a dream
And even though I think he's the best
He seems so far from everything
Because my mom is an alcoholic
And I bet when she was young
She never saw it coming
Or wonder I'm so uptight
Or wonder why I don't just chill out
And learn how to have a good time
But sometimes I'm scared right out of my mind
And sometimes I just get angry
Because I've been let down by the people that I love
But I will not let down the people who love me

Well, I have a feeling that he might be referring to all the people in his life that he has seen leave and who'll he'll never get to know. Haha, but that might just be me. Great song.

He said it was an anti-substance song at PIX

"this guy is magnificintly bad. its awesome how bad he is. but i love it"
Wrong. Paul Baribeau is purely fucking amazing.

It seems like this song is about all the people in his life that had potential to be absolutely great people; the people that had a future and, in one way or another, ruined it.

this guy is magnificintly bad. its awesome how bad he is. but i love it
you spell magnificently horrible. it's awesome how horrible you are. and i hate it. Paul Baribeau may not appeal to certain people due to his scratchy, low voice (like he says) but his songs are from the depths of his heart and have such compassion, love, and empathy behind each lyric that spews out of his mouth. His guitars are happy, upbeat, and very catchy and fun to play along with. He may not become a very popular artist due to shit-for-nothing, no talent, assclown bands now-a-days, but he will be personally revered as one of the greatest song artists. He...

He is magnificently amazing. And by the way the only thing good that came out of LOTR was all the influential concepts that Zeppelin derived from it. Have a fun life being a choad, choad.

This song is about why the narrator chooses not to use drugs or alcohol.

paul baribeau is wonderful and definitely not an asshole, as suggested in this song. this song makes me sad. that's life though, i guess.

I love this song so much :)

oh my god..
