Never Get To Know Lyrics

I'll never get to know my friend Steven
He thought he found an answer
He was my friend since kindergarten
And then I watched him disappear

I'll never get to know my friend Melisa
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

I'll never get to know my mom's friend Bonnie
She's the one who made me want to be an artist
She could paint the prettiest pictures
Until both her lungs collapsed

I'll never get to know my mom's friend Harry
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

I'll never get to know my sister
Because my sister is a crack head
But thank God I remember
When she was just a little kid

I'll never get to know my dad
Because my dad lives in a dream
And even though I think he's the best
He seems so far from everything

And I'll never get to know my mom
Because my mom is an alcoholic
And I bet when she was young
She never saw it coming

You might wonder why I'm an asshole
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

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.

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...
