"Fairweather Friends"

Say you see through the folly

But you do it for the fame

I'm fighting the jet stream

Drinkin' cheap wine on airplanes

You're in L.A., not Chicago

Key under mat, I walk the dog, order in, home alone

Found your letter on a full moon Sunday night

On your knees in ink you offered a ring, a real life

Pour the vodka, and it dulls sharp knives

Beautiful poetry, but the letter isn't for me

And you didn't really mean it

So I don't have to believe it

If you didn't mean to do it

And magical thinking gets us by

You sing for the after show, those candy colored lips

But your age is showing, and you gotta work harder for it

It's always easier with freshman

I'm just as clever, it's not technically cheating if

I didn't really mean it

So you don't have to believe it

If I didn't mean to do it

And magical thinking gets us by

And you're fragile as porcelain

fragile as porcelain

If you didn't really mean it

And I don't have to believe it

You didn't mean to do it

Then magical thinking gets us by

Gotta get by

Gotta get by

Whatever get us by

We're fair-weather friends

The lyrics posted are the lyrics from when she first performed the song like 3 years before the album was released. I fell in love with that first version, and had to adjust to hearing this version. I will say however, now I am madly in love with this version!

Funny how I like this song, but feel like I'm who she's singing about. A girl I always liked but live far away from me just found out I'm in a new relationship. We aren't together and never were, but we (are/were) very close. She ask me all about the relationship and says she's happy for me. But I feel sad about it. Guess it's guilt because I always cared about her, but she never was there for me. Still love VC tho and I still like this song. The girl is a fairweather friend in the end. XD

it's about a girl's struggle with a cheating boyfriend, she tries to forget about it and live through it... 'magical thinking gets us by' - but it doesn't last and she realises she cant forgive him. because he 'did it for the fame'.

These are the exact lyrics to her original version of the song. If you've listened to some of her other songs, when she performs them live, she often sings different lyrics EX Pretty Baby, Ordinary Day (Divide and conquer), etc. Sorry this is so late!
