It don't make me feel bad that we're still friends
To make amends
And still be friends, still be my friend
Near the end, the cloud thing is the same as before.
But please come down from that cloud you're sitting on
not "but please come down from that cloud, you see at all"
All of En-Lee's corrections are correct.
The video for this song is adorable.
I think it's about the narrator's friend "growing up" and becoming a typical yuppie with a nice house ("big yard...picket fence") and all those boring things. The friend sounds kind of stuck-up, and the narrator is working around that. "I don't expect you to admit that you were wrong" and the soapbox statement lead to me to believe that the friend is egotistical and thinks he's the shit, and the narrator plans to let whatever happened in the past go (I'm assuming that the friend fucked up in some way) in order to remain friends with the person. The narrator isn't into the typical monotonous "adult" stuff, but still wants to be friends with his yuppie friend, who sort of is. I don't think the friend is completely, because the line "You still don't believe and your grievances show When your soapbox unfolds" imply that the friend isn't as happy about his life as he usually pretends he is. And his yuppie facade is pitiful....BAM!! There's the title and opening lines. The "I just want to know how you've been....Still be my friend" section is about the narrator wanting his friend to get off of his high horse so they can make up and rekindle their friendship.
I have the linter notes.
It's...

I could be entirely wrong.
