Escape is at Hand - daselin - 04-26-2009

Does anyone know what he says after the first "it's not like we were best friends"?

"Why? What did he do?"

I always thought it was "Hi, what do you do?"

That could also work, but "Why? What did he do?" goes with the conversation of the lyrics - and is quite clear if you put on head phones.

Yeah I think you're right. I always thought it made sense with "Hi what do you do?" as in you would know what your best friend does, but after closer inspection it does sound like "why" not "hi" and "did he' not "do you"...

I always thought, "why, what would we do?"
Kind of specifying it as a platonic situation there.

And amazing to hear it live tonight!
