lyrics
You finally did it, you finally moved away
You’re now up in the sun, and I’m down in the grey
And though it’ll be a while til I see you again
I feel so proud to still call you my friend
With no remorse, stay the course
Stay true, and don’t be afraid to love, love again
I know you tried to make it work, but he’s a jerk
And not worth taking up your time
And the other boys can get in line
Each step forward can be so hard to take
One face haunting every choice that you make
Don’t take it so seriously and hold on to your faults
I’ve been there too, fantasising running through the halls
And all those times you and I
Shared our fears, shared some wine and resolved to dream again
And when I think of you I still smile at your nerve
And the will to take on board all that you do, and make it through
You’re in my dreams
Thank you for everything
It’s been a long, long time
And I really miss the funny shit you say
And all those times you and I
Shared our fears, shared some wine and resolved to dream again
And when I think of you I still smile at your nerve
And the will to take on board all that you do, and make it through
You’re now up in the sun, and I’m down in the grey
And though it’ll be a while til I see you again
I feel so proud to still call you my friend
With no remorse, stay the course
Stay true, and don’t be afraid to love, love again
I know you tried to make it work, but he’s a jerk
And not worth taking up your time
And the other boys can get in line
Each step forward can be so hard to take
One face haunting every choice that you make
Don’t take it so seriously and hold on to your faults
I’ve been there too, fantasising running through the halls
And all those times you and I
Shared our fears, shared some wine and resolved to dream again
And when I think of you I still smile at your nerve
And the will to take on board all that you do, and make it through
You’re in my dreams
Thank you for everything
It’s been a long, long time
And I really miss the funny shit you say
And all those times you and I
Shared our fears, shared some wine and resolved to dream again
And when I think of you I still smile at your nerve
And the will to take on board all that you do, and make it through
