This is a poem about Andrew McMahon, the lyricist, pianist, and singer of Something Corporate and Jack's Mannequin. His songs have changed my life, so I figured it was about time I showed him some love.

Andrew McMahon
She sits near her window sill
Thinking of places she could go
And the lights that turned down low
Yes, it's a reference to a song you know
A song we love and we wish we could be
Just half as good a lyricist as he
But no one can and we all know
He's the lyricist no one can touch
His spot at the top will never gain rust
His mind is sharp after all he's been through
He's felt pain he's felt sorrow
And yet he made it to tomorrow
And we admire him more
For this not-so-simple fact
We wish we could be his Punk Rock Princess
Even more so his Konstantine
And I wouldn't mind waking up in a car if it was with him
I'm just oh so happy I'm not Jordan
His piano pop-rock is the best we have heard
He reminds us that we can breathe
And he helps put us back together
When we just fall apart
He's the lyricist inside my head
Swimming through the stereos
The mixed tape I made for you
Is all by him, through and through
I'm not saying I'm a fangirl
I'm not saying I'm obsessed
All I'm trying to say
Is that Andrew McMahon,
Is undoubtedly the best
