To Know Me

To know why I cry every time I see a sunset
To know why I smile at all the things I can't forget
To know why my heart may take a while to mend
To know me, you would have to know my friend
I can't help but dream when I hear a train comin'
I can't help but laugh when I lose my keys again
If you had to count my quirks, there'd be a dozen
To know me, you would have to know my friend
If you've ever seen fireworks lightin' up the sky
Then you know how quickly time goes in the blink of an eye
Oh, and there's a hidden treasure you'll take away with you
If you've ever loved someone and they had to leave too soon
To know what I'd trade for one more day to have 'em
To know what it takes to live my life without them
I could tell you all the details of who I am, but then again
To know me, you would have to know my friend
If you've ever heard a bird sing in the middle of the night
Then you know that heaven's waitin' to take you by surprise
Oh, and the more you love somebody, the more you have to lose
But when they leave this world, they leave their fingerprints on you
To know why I keep on pushin' past the limit
To know why I live every day like it's the end
To know why I'm grateful every single minute
To know me, you would have to know my friend
To know me, you would have to know my friend
