How To Thank A Friend

How do you thank a friend

For their heart-breaking presence

For their undivided attention

When you're withering

You say I'm the water

Lapping up against a wall

I feel that so completely

Flowing, churning deeply

Yet stuck after all

How do you thank a friend

With fires bright and fighting fair

Keep on talking 'cause you know they care

Lead me now to brighter times

I only loved you 'cause I loved you blind

I loved you blind

How to do what you intend

Now that your plans got broken

And soft words you weren't sure you'd say

Never get spoken

You show up at seven when the summer sun's still up

I see your sadness clearly

Mad at your mystery

Yet stuck after all

How do you thank a friend

With iron sides and steely stares

Keep on walking, you're a joke I swear

Lead me down the path to fun

I only love you 'cause I loved you blind

I loved you blind

He told me that I should forget it

It don't matter anyhow

Wow, it's been a while since I let it

Chew me up and spit me out

That fear's like fate like drown-me-out

Wield my weight like a solemn sound

Fall

Fall down

Fall

Fall down

How do you thank a friend?
