my friend rodrigo makes beautiful music
and he thinks i make beautiful music
and sometimes i think we both make beautiful music

my friend rodrigo is from toronto
and i live in new jersey
and he's visiting new york city
and that's close to me

my friend rodrigo's in new york city
just like my first girlfriend amy
me and her would go to the nitehawk theater on weekends to catch some movies
and i'd order a few too many $8 beers and cry myself to sleep
and i'd cry myself to sleep

my friend rodrigo's in new york city
where i applied to art school when i was 17
and an asian guy gave me and my dad a tour and his hair was died green
but i couldn't afford to go there
so i went to the middle of nowhere
and wrote some songs and so
that's how i met my friend rodrigo

and he thinks i make beautiful music

my friend rodrigo's in new york city and i'm going out there to see him and somehow that's really touching to me. somehow that's really touching. my friend rodrigo makes beautiful music and he thinks i make beautiful music so i'm going out there to see him. somehow that's really touching.)
