Lyrics
Hey, it's been a while
And when I think about those days I just have to smile
Didn't we have ourselves a time?
I remember driving through the night
Taking names and numbers and running blind
I fell a couple of steps behind
I never really say exactly how I feel
Thought you'd understand it
I took a lot for granted
But I never said it
And now I'm finally starting to regret it
The right words are hard to find
You were a friend of mine
We spent our days
Chasing mighty clouds of joy and purple haze
Banging our heads against the sky
Now I don't like to fly
It just reminds me of the times I've crashed into the ground
Man, I'm glad you're still around
You didn't hesitate to say when I was wrong
I didn't like it
But I guess I knew it all along
But when I leaned over and told you I was lost
You reached out your hand and helped me get across
Taking one step at a time
You were a friend of mine
And you were there when I was lonely
The one and only fool enough to try staring down the sun
And I know I caused you trouble, seeing double
But in the long run, I was the lucky one
It's good to hear you
It seems like years since we've been near enough to call
Yeah and after all
I know you've seen your share of hell
Another angel fallen to the bottom of the wishing well
And that's all that I can tell
But as we cast our desperate years into the wind
With a couple of changes
You know I'd live it all again
I've got to go
I don't know why the final word always has to be goodbye
Thanks for asking, I'm doing fine
You were a friend of mine
You are a friend of mine
