  • I didn't want to be the one to forget
    I thought of everything I'd never regret
    A little time with you is all that I get
    That's all we need because it's all we can take
    One thing I never see the same when you're 'round
    I don't believe in him, his lips on the ground
    I wanna take you to that place in the Roche
    But no one gives us any time anymore
    He asks me once if I'd look in on his dog
    You made an offer for it, then you ran off
    I got this picture of us kids in my head
    And all I hear is the last thing that you said

    I listened to your problems, now listen to mine
    I didn't want to anymore, oh

    And we will never be alone again
    'Cause it doesn't happen every day
    Kinda counted on you being a friend
    Can I give it up or give it away?
    Now I thought about what I wanna say
    But I never really know where to go
    So I chained myself to a friend
    'Cause I know it unlocks like a door
    And we will never be alone again
    'Cause it doesn't happen every day
    Kinda counted on you being a friend
    Can I give it up or give it away?
    Now I thought about what I wanna say
    But I never really know where to go
    So I chained myself to a friend

    Some more again

    It didn't matter what they wanted to see
    He thought he saw someone that looked just like me
    The summer memory that just never dies
    We worked too long and hard to give it no time
    He sees right through me, it's so easy with lies
    Cracks in the road that I would try and disguise
    He runs the scissors at the seam in the wall
    He cannot break it down or else he would fall
    One thousand lonely stars
    Hiding in the cold
    Take it
    I don't wanna sing anymore

    I listened to your problems, now listen to mine
    I didn't want to anymore, oh

    And we will never be alone again
    'Cause it doesn't happen every day
    Kinda counted on you being a friend
    Can I give it up or give it away?
    Now I thought about what I wanna say
    But I never really know where to go
    So I chained myself to a friend
    'Cause I know it unlocks like a door
    And we will never be alone again
    'Cause it doesn't happen every day
    Kinda counted on you being a friend
    Can I give it up or give it away?
    Now I thought about what I wanna say
    But I never really know where to go
    So I chained myself to a friend
    'Cause I know it unlocks like a

    I don't understand
    Don't get upset
    I'm not with you
    We're swimming around
    It's all I do
    When I'm with you

    And we will never be alone again
    'Cause it doesn't happen every day
    Kinda counted on you being a friend
    Can I give it up or give it away?
    Now I thought about what I wanna say
    But I never really know where to go
    So I chained myself to a friend
    'Cause I know it unlocks like a door
    And we will never be alone again
    'Cause it doesn't happen every day
    Kinda counted on you being a friend
    Can I give it up or give it away?
    Now I thought about what I wanna say
    But I never really know where to go
    So I chained myself to a friend
