Met in college
Me & Jack
Got drunk &
Punched trees
Me & Jack
Dressed up like the Joker
For Halloween
Me & Jack
Were never that lucky
In love
Me & Jack
Liked to read
Me & Jack
Back in the day
Sat outside in the moonlight
Writing poems until
The daylight came
Until of course
A few years ago
When I met Scotch
But occasionally
Every now & then
I'll still do coke
With Jack
Which is nice
