Make a friend of who you are   Things so everlasting take you far   Try and get away   A reason to give up to you   A love I never understood      And now, two years later   I'm reading of your wedding in my morning paper   The future's getting brighter   I need a cigarette and so I reach for my lighter      And it's the same for you and it's the same for me   But I'm not here alone now and I think you'd agree   That if we'd met later, I'd never have seen this life      Bad enough that I'm still here   Lying through my teeth so loud and clear   Have to get away   I'm walking streets excited man   Lying awake and dreaming plans      And now, two years later   I'm reading some reviews in my music paper   The future's getting brighter   I wonder when the days will turn from darker to lighter      And it's the same for you and it's the same for me   But I'm not here alone now and I think you'd agree   That if we'd met later, I'd never have seen this life      Make a friend of who you are   Things so everlasting take you far   The future's getting brighter   I wonder when the days will turn from darker to lighter      And it's the same for you and it's the same for me   But I'm not here alone now and I think you'd agree   That if we'd met later, I'd never have seen this life      Well, it's the same for you and it's the same for me   But I'm not here alone now and I think you'd agree   That if we'd met later, I'd never have seen this life
