A Boutique Affair - Intellectual

[Instrumental Intro]

It's hard to make friends in your twenties

It's even harder to make them in your thirties

At this point, I'm really dreading the thought of

Making it, to my forties

Once you've reached that point of over the hill

Are you making friends

Or padding out numbers for your funeral?

At this stage, mine's going to be an exclusive event

The grudges that you hold through your twenties

Are gonna be harder to break in your thirties

And I can't imagine why we'd even

Bother in our forties

Once a holes been that deeply dug

Does it make sense to just cover it up

And move on leave regrets

To gather dust?

A boutique affair is what they'll call it (Is what they'll call it)

A boutique affair for "What's-his-name"

(For "What's-his-name", for "What's-his-name")

He threw a party back in high school (Back in high school)

But if I try just can't put a face to the name (Didn't we...)

Do this all instinctively

When we were kids out on the street?

And we'd meet up with other kids

Who shared similar interests

There were no empty words, no doublespeak

No saying yes when it's "no" you mean

Or maybe

As long as there’s no one around to see

A boutique affair is what they'll call it (Is what they'll call it)

A boutique affair for "What's-his-name"

(For "What's-his-name", for "What's-his-name")

He threw a party back in high school (Back in high school)

But if I try just can't put a face to the name

A boutique affair is what they'll call it (Is what they'll call it)

A boutique affair for "What's-his-name"

(For "What's-his-name", for "What's-his-name")

He threw a party back in high school (Back in high school)

But if I try just can't put a face to the name
