You didn't know me when you were a kid In trouble at school, alone at lunch again I didn't know you when I broke my knee Spent the summer on crutches and everybody tears Except for this one friend I almost forgot
You didn't know me but he knew best The weight of my primal, the fear of my cold head You never saw me but turn in the eyes My friends I don't know but you couldn't me throw me out right So I got ditch freezing, alone with my thoughts And they always said I was better off as being dead Better off as being dead, without my all friends They always said I was better off as being dead But I didn't know you yet
You didn't know me but you got cold, too And your mind was heavy and you thought you might lose it With everything fucked up, we both fell before I'm glad for it all if it got us where we are With you in the boat there, I almost forgot How I would say I was better off as being dead Better off as being dead, I didn't know you yet And you might've said you were better off as being dead But I'm looking out for you, my friend, look out
I didn't know you when you were a kid But swimming with you, it sure feels like I did
