Let us go forward together Safe in a memory, a highway passing me by If we ever get off track for a minute then Promise me you won’t forget how we spent half of our lives No one’s gonna love you more than I do Even if it means we’ve gotta go our separate ways after a while I learned to keep my friends close through hard times I’ll always back you up like external hard drives
Sipping bottles up on North Church, watching the cars slide In snowy little Goshen, our lives Can only be defined and redefined through all these cycles we’re assigned And our experiences are marks tied to everything we leave behind I’m looking for a reason I can’t seem to find I guess that people change, and I guess that even I’ve learned a lesson To keep your friends close, and keep your better your better friends closer Yeah, that’s right, believe it I’ve been trying to say goodbye to this ghost town ‘Cause this is how I cope, these are all the sad thoughts I said that I wish I wrote down I disappeared the moment that she left, I almost broke down Invisible, thank god for Ghost, I know I’m not alone This is my first journal entry in a long time, a real enlightenment It’s been a year and a half since I didn’t feel like writing Afraid to document the feelings that evoke Well if you wanna change my life, I won’t
I keep my friends close I keep my friends close And keep my better friends closer

And she was the last remaining fixture of my childhood Going, going, gone miles away If I could choose between moving forward or believing in my sandlot blues I’d pick my head up, and I’d stand on proof ‘Cause I know the neighborhood kids got love like no others And I know the happiest part of my life was with each other And I know she left my heart in pieces, and smiles wrinkle, But I’m here to make the wrinkles smile, a lead on what we suffered ‘Cause I’ve been trying to say goodbye to this ghost town in my heart I walk alone but never hold my nose down, try hard The simple things are different when they’re changing And this town looks so goddamn pretty when it’s raining Yeah, remember how we found ourselves the next day? A real enlightenment Remember how we shared our guts? We didn’t feel like writing Now I’m afraid that I’m afraid to let it go Well if you wanna change my life, I won’t
I keep my friends close I keep my friends close And keep my better friends closer
