Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I didn't want to be the one to forget
I thought of everything I'd never regret
A little time with you is all that I get
It's all we need because it's all we can take
One thing I never see the same when you're 'round
I don't believe in him - his lips on the ground
I wanna take you to that place in the "Roche"
But no one gives us any time anymore
He asked me once if I'd look in on his dog
You made an offer for it, then you ran off
I got this picture of us kids in my head
And all I hear is the last thing that you said
[Verse 2]
"I listened to your problems, now listen to mine"
I didn't want to anymore, oh-oh-ohh
[Verse 3]
And we'll never be alone again
'Cause it doesn't happen every day
Kinda counted on you being a friend
Can I give it up or give it away
[Verse 4]
Now I thought about wanting to say
But I never really know where to go
So I chained myself to a friend
Some more again
[Verse 5]
It didn't matter what they wanted to see
He thought he saw someone that looked just like me
The summer memory that just never dies
We worked too long and hard to give it no time
He sees right through me, it's so easy with lies
Cracks in the road that I would try and disguise
He runs his scissors at the seam in the wall
He cannot break it down or else he would fall
[Verse 6]
One thousand lonely stars
Hiding in the cold
Take it, I don't wanna sing anymore
[Verse 7]
"I listened to your problems, now listen to mine"
I didn't want to anymore, oh-oh-ohh
[Verse 8]
And we'll never be alone again
'Cause it doesn't happen every day
Kinda counted on you being a friend
Can you give it up or give it away
Now I thought about wanting to say
But I never really know where to go
So I chained myself to a friend
'Cause I know it unlocks like a door
[Verse 9]
And we'll never be alone again
'Cause it doesn't happen every day
Kinda counted on you being a friend
Can I give it up or give it away
Now I thought about wanting to say
But I never really know where to go
So I chained myself to a friend
'Cause I know it unlocks like a door
[Verse 10]
I don't understand
Don't get upset
I'm not with you
We're swimming around
It's all I do
When I'm with you
[Verse 11]
And we'll never be alone again
'Cause it doesn't happen every day
Kinda counted on you being a friend
Can I give it up or give it away
Now I thought about wanting to say
But I never really know where to go
So I chained myself to a friend
'Cause I know it unlocks like a door
[Verse 12]
And we'll never be alone again
'Cause it doesn't happen every day
Kinda counted on you being a friend
Can I give it up or give it away
Now I thought about wanting to say
But I never really know where to go
So I chained myself to a friend
'Cause I know it unlocks like a door
