Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Friend
When you needed a friend
Heart hanging, got torn again
Stepladder, got down again
Light bulb, life changing, found a friend
[Verse 2]
Shove
Shovel the bones away
Love, human remains remain
Realising it, progress made
Claw sanity back again
[Chorus]
If we're holding hands
Will we walk at the same speed?
If we're holding hands
Will anybody see?
If we're holding hands
Will we manage not to laugh?
If we're holding hands
Will the tug tear us in—?
[Bridge]
Two years, turnaround
Two years doesn't count
Today, there was progress made
More change, more it stays the same
[Chorus]
If we're holding hands
Will anybody see?
If we're holding hands
Will we walk at the same speed?
If we're holding hands
Will you promise not to laugh?
If we're holding hands
Will the tug tear us in half?
[Outro]
Friend
When you needed a friend
Heart, bind it back up again
Words written down, progress made
More change, more it stays the same
