All It Takes is a Friend
I know I did, come by your place too many times
Solar eclipse, the light shining on all of my fault lines
Did I exist, in between my moments of summit and my downtrodden plummet?
But if you did, I know it was you who held onto the thread when I tried to cut it
All I know is all it takes is a friend
To tell you they know how much it aches to exist somedays
When your cheek hits the ground, it makes no sound and there's no one to help you up
All I know is all it takes is a friend
To lie down next to you and say go ahead I'll cry about it too if you do
It's just something, I've been meaning to say for a while
Tried several times, wasted so much paper on bad lines
It's taken me a while, five years is a really long time
It was the second of July, now it's every moment passing by
I remember crying in the back of a taxi
I never thought I'd be like that
A hundred reasons to say I'm unhappy
I don't ever want to go back to that
All our tattoos are imaginary
And ever changing with every core memory
I have with you
All I know is all it takes is a friend
To tell you they know how much it aches to exist some days
When your cheek hits the ground, it makes no sound and there's no one to help you up
All I know is all it takes is a friend
To lie down next to you and say go ahead I'll cry about it too if you do
So with the greatest love I have to give
I'll write this down and send it to you
May you remember it forever
You have been my life savior
All our tattoos are imaginary
Ever changing with every core memory
I have with you.
