lifelong friend

I like to think that I'm enough
This is the world I'm dreaming of
One full of life and full of love
No kick, no scream, no push, no shove

But on that stage you start to shake
Heart beating fast, you are a fake
What's taken your whole life to make
Was doomed to crash and fall and break

Maybe if you'd met her
Just a couple years before
You'd be the one she dares to push
Up against the door

It'd be you she wished to stay
Just a couple minutes more
But instead you're just a lifelong friend
And what aren't friends for?

There was a girl two years ago
Who meant the world to me
A name I used to call her
And a friend she used to be

She left with empty promises
She left with my whole heart
A lying friend, a dying end
Til death do us part

Maybe if you'd met her
Just a couple years before
You'd be the one she dares to push
Up against the door

It'd be you she wished to stay
Just a couple minutes more
But instead you're just a lifelong friend
And what aren't friends for?
What are friends, what are friends, what are friends for?

So ask her out, let her know
Everything will be alright
She's waiting there, to let you go
Until you're out of sight

But screw all this, I'm tired now
Don't tell me how to live my life
All I need to know is how
My brain's my sword, my pen my knife

Maybe if you'd met her
Just a couple years before
You'd be the one she dares to push
Up against the door

It'd be you she wished to stay
Just a couple minutes more
But instead you're just a lifelong friend
And what aren't friends for?
