(blank) Lyrics

me and tom sat down one night
our goal was to write a song
didn't want it to be too short but we didn't want it too long
we can write about politics
we can write about the world
we can write about ourselves
we can write it about girls
but what went through our heads
was to write about this song instead

tom picked up his guitar and he started playing a tune
some words went through my head
and i started singing them too
we can write about our friends
we can write about being blue
we can write about something else
we can write about being without you
but what went through our heads
was to write about this song instead
