I see ahead of me a light that takes my breath If we're only ever looking back, then how can we expect To see each other as we are, for all that we've become Would be friends at all if we weren't friends when we was young? And I want to feel close to you for more than just a sake, Of the place that we grew up in and all them times that we got baked in the park Look, if you take me apart, you'll find half of me is you but half of me is asking me to start anew
You look the same but I don't recognize you, I'm looking you dead in the face and I can't find you Don't like the way we always talk in the past tense, Can't explain the present 'til you work out what the past meant
These are the days that bind us together, forever And these little things define us, forever, forever
All this bad blood here, won't you let it dry? It's been cold for years, won't you let it lie?
There's a man I've known for years, and still to this day do I know him I love him very much, it's very hard for me to show him Back then and even now I feel there's something that I owe him And that feeling should be going over time but no it's growing We was kid mates, making mistakes, playing give take Big hearts battling them big snakes, rattling their tails He was like the wind in my sails, I was like the water for his keel, it was real It use to hurt my flesh that his worn scars were heated still He use to hurt his flesh just to see if he could feel He took out a long straw, he was never really the strong sort Got into the wrong sport, big swigs, long snorts Caught in that spiral, saw attempts to help him sparkle But soon he got so down that he got on the brown, word got around People did not like the sound, they told me to stop popping round to see him I kept disagreeing, soon he was a different being He got into stealing, robbing, I still see him frequent afterwards you'd think would open eyes were throbbing You could stop him freaking out, but to speak about the things that made him weak, his doubt And to stop his rolling sentence, faced with paper pen to write his actions spoke dependence Friendship became difficult to say the least, he played the beast so well I wondered how I would ever make our peace That's when we drifted, never argued, it just became clear The parts of him I loved so well would slowly disappear
Those are the days that bind us together, forever These little things define us, forever, forever
All this bad blood here, won't you let it dry? It's been cold for years, won't you let it lie?
Ready or not, here I come, you can't hide I'm going to find you and take it slowly
Ready or not, here I come, you can't hide I'm going to find you and make you want me
