Vanessa Carlton – Fairweather Friend Lyrics 15 years ago
I agree with the two comments above...also some of the lyrics have been changed.

Say you see through the folly
But you do it for the fame
And I'm fighting the jet stream
Drinkin' cheap wine on airplanes

And you're in L.A., not Chicago
Key under mat, I walk the dog, order in, home alone

Found your letter on a full moon Sunday night
Another girl, and you spell, guess he's back for a night (?)
Pour the vodka, and it dulls sharp fights
Breaking words, a diamond band ring

And you didn't mean to do it
So I don't have to believe it
If you didn't really do it
And magical thinking gets us by

You sing for the after show, those candy colored lips
But your age is showing, and you gotta work harder for it
It's always easier with freshmen
And I'm not as clever, if she needed a ride (?)

And you didn't mean to do it
So I don't have to believe it
If we didn't really do it
And magical thinking gets us by

Fair-weathered friends
Fair-weathered friends

Say you see through the folly
But you do it for the fame
And I am fragile as porcelain
Drinking cheap wine on airplanes
And did I ever leave Chicago?
I got your message, glad you're doing well

And you didn't mean to do it
So I don't have to believe it
If we didn't really do it
And magical thinking gets us by

Oo, oo
Say you see through the folly
But you did it for the fame
Say you see through the folly
But you did it for the fame
Say you see through the folly
But you did it for the fame
Say you see through the folly
But you did it for the fame

My fair-weathered friend

Vanessa Carlton – Carousel Lyrics 15 years ago
Well when she premiered it, you can barely make out in the recording something about her writing this for her friend. I think that's exactly what it is.
Her friend was heartbroken and couldn't see what would come. So, Vanessa wrote her a song.
She tells her that everything is going to be ok, because she will find someone better and she doesn't have to try so hard because love will find her.

"the goodness is something you don't have to chase cuz it's following you"
