As of late I find the words hard to come by
when all I want to do is turn to you and say
you’ve been my constant in this world of changes
And I was hoping that you’d stay
If there’s one thing that I should know by now
is life just fucks you up when it shoves you to the ground
then turns around and plays the song in just the right key
And I was hoping that you’d sing that song with me
Oh my friends,
if I could find the words to say
I would give them all away
When I look back on all the things I’ve learned
and think of all the times we’ve been so sorely burned
and wonder what we’ll say and feel when we are older
I’m just hoping that we’ll laugh
Oh my friends,
if I could find the words to say
I would give them all away
As of late I find the words hard to come by
when all I want to do is turn to you and say
you’ve been my comfort in this world of changes
And I was hoping that you’d stay
I was hoping that we’d always stay this way
