when you're down for the count, it seems don't worry, you're great don't give up, 'cause i know how long you've been lying in wait yeah it's tough to reconcile sometimes but it isn't too late when it comes to your darkest hours, don't worry, you're great

when we were young you let me in to be your friend by way of being near here at the sidewalk's bitter end where air balloons would drift into the clear but time as well moved through the wind and i am left to dream of yesteryear although this time i didn't mean to can't say that you're doing the same but if you are i'm calling you from here friend where are you now and if i stay here i just might wait here i feel okay here and that's not all but if i stay here i can't just wait here out in the front we'd spin around and only stop when we were tantalized by other things, being out of bounds we'd always find a way to rhapsodize these days i'm looking for a place and in the midst, i saw to my surprise a blankened slate i knew, and recoiled that's when i knew that you were more a part of me than i had realized too late anyhow every slide is a twist of the knife and a battle with memories to never be won we said our goodbyes but in youthful reprise i guess i couldn't consider the long run i might just wait here

find this always happening over every little thing sometimes your heart intervenes i think you know what that means i said it once and i'll say it again for every three times that i said it in my head 'cause just as quickly as one to another these are the things that make their way on in just to set your heart aflutter tripped into some more allure pinch myself just to be sure sparks can fly behind the scenes i think you know what it could be yeah funny how we treat with glee tiny things that we can't see true hearts will always be free so long as they've got will to be it must have been a thousand times now in my head they come so quickly from one to another

we all try every day take your medicine in the face of dismay take your medicine i know it's hard to find the things that make you feel better when all the weight is on your soul if your tears take the reigns take your medicine met with so much disdain taste your medicine yeah i know it's hard to find the things that make you feel better for when you feel all alone

let's get up out of here and find some rules to contravene and not act like we're above the roller blades and trampolines and wrap up our bandages and yell and scream exactly what we mean let's all mess up our griptape trying to darkslide down the stairwell and watch you try to kickflip off the park bench over there, well i never noticed that they put those grind stoppers in, what the hell get real let's hit convenience stores and sell them out of slushie mix and let's walk right out the door like that one jane's addiction bit, yeah too bad there's not enough caffeine here on this earth to get our fix come through if you have got your hands on that classic pre-ban stuff my favorite's watermelon, hurricanes aren't blue enough they haven't quite struck gold yet where you're at aw dang that's pretty rough

knew from the start we'd get along you are my friend but it feels like they've done you wrong i think there's something going on they said some mean things about you you are my friend but i still love you through and through and i know the great things you can do you are my friend until the end and every day, in every way you inspire me to do better and the way i feel today is how i will feel forever for you together we will change their minds you are my friend and they will start to realize that you've got your eyes right on the prize when they first saw you they couldn't believe you with how they perceived you i felt so bad they misconceived you and wouldn't reprieve you but i'll never leave you the friend i have and every day, in every way you put up with what you're receiving now hear what i say not just for today i'll never ever stop believing in you

i'm gonna fly leave my present mind behind it's gonna take a while but i can be all right i'm gonna fly hold my wings to the sky might be afraid to fall but it never hurts to try
