Lyrics

[Verse 1]

End of May or early June

This picture-perfect afternoon we shared

Drive the winding country road

Grab a scoop at À La Mode

And then we're there

[Verse 2]

An open field that's framed with trees

We pick a spot and shoot the breeze like buddies do

Quoting songs by our favorite bands

Telling jokes no one understands except us two

And we talk and take in the view

[Verse 3]

All we see is sky for forever

We let the world pass by for forever

Feels like we could go on for forever this way

Two friends on a perfect day

[Verse 4]

We walk a while and talk about

The things we'll do when we get out of school

Bike the Appalachian trail or

Write a book or learn to sail

Wouldn't that be cool?

[Verse 5]

There's nothing that we can't discuss

Like girls we wish would notice us but never do

He looks around and says to me

"There's nowhere else I'd rather be"

And I say, "Me too"

[Verse 6]

And we talk and take in the view

We just talk and take in the view

[Verse 7]

All we see is sky for forever

We let the world pass by for forever

Feels like we could go on for forever this way, this way

[Verse 8]

All we see is light for forever

'Cause the sun shines bright for forever

Like we'll be alright for forever this way

Two friends on a perfect day

[Verse 9]

And there he goes, racing toward the tallest tree

From far across the yellow field I hear him calling, "Follow me"

There we go, wondering how the world might look from up so high

[Verse 10]

One foot after the other

One branch then to another

I climb higher and higher

I climb till the entire sun shines on my face

[Verse 11]

And I suddenly feel the branch give way

I'm on the ground

My arm goes numb

I look around

And I see him come to get me

He's come to get me

And everything's okay

[Verse 12]

All we see is sky for forever

We let the world pass by for forever

Buddy, you and I for forever this way, this way

[Verse 13]

All we see is light

'Cause the sun burns bright

We could be alright for forever this way

Two friends

True friends on a perfect day
