Lyrics
Hey my friend
It seems your eyes are troubled
Care to share your time with me?
Would you say you're feeling low and so?
A good idea would be to get it off your mind
See you and me have a better time than most can dream
Have it better than the best, so can we pull on through
Whatever tears at us, whatever holds us down
And if nothing can be done, we'll make the best of what's around
Turns out not where but who you're with that really matters
That really matters
And hurts not much when you're around
When you're around
And if you hold on tight
To what you think is your thing
You may find you're missing all the rest
Well, she ran up into the light surprised
Her arms are open, her mind's eye is
Seeing things from a better side than most can dream
On a clearer road I feel, oh you could say she's safe
Whatever tears at her, whatever holds her down
And if nothing can be done, she'll make the best of what's around
Turns out not where but what you think that really matters
That really matters
That really matters
That really matters, yeah
See you and me have a better time than most can dream
Have it better than the best, so can we pull on through
Whatever tears at us, whatever holds us down
And if nothing can be done, we'll make the best of what's around
Turns out not where but who you're with that really matters
That really matters
And hurts not much when you're around
When you're around, hey, la-la
Oh-oh, hey-la
Oh-oh, hey-la
Oh-oh hey-la, hey-la
Oh-oh, hey-la
Oh-oh, hey-la
Oh-oh, hey-la, hey-la
Oh-oh, hey-la
Oh-oh, hey-la
Oh-oh, hey-la (always try to make the best of what's around)
Oh-oh, hey-la
Oh-oh, hey-la, hey-la (make the best of what's around)
Oh-oh, hey-la
Oh-oh, hey-la (make the best of what's around)
Oh-oh, hey-la (oh, I'll be alive)
Oh-oh, hey-la (I'll be there to make the best of what's around)
Oh-oh, hey-la
Oh-oh, hey-la
Oh-oh, hey-la
Oh-oh, hey-la
Oh-oh, hey-la
