Dave's Song Lyrics
I know you can't help me now
And sometimes people change
I've been sick since you left town
We've gotta find a way to feel the same
I know it's hard to give up when you don't want to be saved
Take me in your heart again
And I know how to keep you hung up but I won't do it again
Oh I know I wish you were my friend
I want you to know I think you're right
Though there's so much I've been going through
I'm still the boy you left for nights
And I don't wanna know what I should do
I know it's hard to give up when you don't want to be saved
Take me in your heart again
And I know how to keep you hung up but I won't do it again
Don't you go and leave me here my friend
Whoo
I know it's hard to give up when you don't want to be saved
Take me in your heart again
And I know how to keep you hung up but I won't do it again
Oh I know I wish you were my friend
And sometimes people change
I've been sick since you left town
We've gotta find a way to feel the same
Take me in your heart again
And I know how to keep you hung up but I won't do it again
Oh I know I wish you were my friend
Though there's so much I've been going through
I'm still the boy you left for nights
And I don't wanna know what I should do
Take me in your heart again
And I know how to keep you hung up but I won't do it again
Don't you go and leave me here my friend
Take me in your heart again
And I know how to keep you hung up but I won't do it again
Oh I know I wish you were my friend

Dave’s Song is a love song about an unhealthy longing.
It was said in Paste Magazine that Dave was an eccentric neighbour the band had. The band, writing this song as a joke, projects a love story onto their relationship with Dave.
