Lyrics
When We Were Friends
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The laying, the shading, the fading of the lines
The even knowing that there's something wrong
The grinding, not finding, reminding of a time
When there was such a thing as holding on
It was so nice looking at your smile
And thinking such a thing would never end
Another, another, another candle day
Wick burning down so slow
Some other, some other, some other gentle way
Remembrances of a smoother road
Time behind the wheel-we would trade
Wasn't it easier when we were friends
I've been here, you've been here, we've both been here before
A thousand times up and down the curves
Don't want to, don't need to, don't see the reasons for
Making trips when no reason's served
Adventure's only real when you don't know what's in store
Frowns only have one face to lend
It's coming, it's going, it's right before us now
It's sad enough with a hand to hold
I've named it, you've named it, we've both cursed it down
It's bad enough without being cold
One back against the wind while the other'd bow
Wasn't it easier when we were friends
So what's left, what's right, what's under our control
Only where we go, not where we've been
Here's a hand, there's a hand, and hand in hand we'll roll
Pretending until we smile again
It's just a turn from now back to the road
That we used to walk when we were friends
