Friend

Hold me up I think I'm falling
Completely unaware I think you're great
So hold me down I think I'm all in
I left myself wide open and it's more than I can take
Tell me would you recognize me walking down the street
If my eyes were clouded over just like everyone you meet
Tell me would you want me if I gave it up for you
Chalk it up to victory you know we always do
I am dignified, I am going down
I-I-I am terrified
I-I-I'll be seeing you around, I guess… friend
That is what you are, friend
So who can keep the day from ending?
Keep the sun from going down
I was happier pretending
'Til the shadows hide your face and I can barely make a sound
Tell me do you think about me try to fall asleep without me
Far exceeding hours all the normal people keep
Stand in from of mirrors and reflect upon a day
Well nothing you're amazing with your grace and by the way
I am dignified, I am going down
I-I-I am terrified
I-I-I'll be seeing you around, I guess… friend
That is what you are, friend
So maybe I do want you but it's more than I can come to right now
I'm not giving it up so we dance around the feelings
'Til they finally hit the ceiling
I know that you know
I am dignified, I am going down
I-I-I am terrified
I am I am
I am dignified, I am going down
I-I-I am terrified
I-I-I'll be seeing you around, I guess… friend
Maybe I do want you but I'm lost along the way
Sleeping through the morning I can finally face the day
I don't know the answers to the questions in your eyes
I'm alone…
