about

"I've got some friends, some that I hardly know. But we've had some times I wouldn't trade for the world."

Written by Andrew Nieporent and Danni Scarpa, 2021-22.

lyrics

Darrin and Danni picked me up that Friday night.
Englishman opened his shed just after 9.
Jupiter shone like a bloody ruby in the sky,
so I said, "set it up, we're Andrew & the Valentines."

Hitting up bars where I'd dated the mayor's sister twice.
The world is small, you've got your friends, you don't need your own ride.
I was living on pilsners and fresh cut wedge french fries,
so I said, "serve it up, we're Andrew & the Valentines."

Had a friend, dropped out of grad school after barely even trying,
cleaning toilets for beer money, and waiting to die.
Nearly succeeding a couple times,
left it all at the door for Andrew & the Valentines

Was a mid-Feburary, fahrenheit 59.
We were counting the days of a calendar hung by the Mayan.
Darrin said it must have been the end of times,
so I said, "don't stop now, we're Andrew & the Valentines."
I said, "don't stop now, we're Andrew & the Valentines."
I said, "don't stop now, we're Andrew & the Valentines."
