lyrics

we were friends round the clock
playin with the sidewalk chalk
we were friends round the clock
even when i drank a lot

we were friends in the street
in the slide
in the swing
now i'm afraid for you

we were friends right away
waterfight everyday
we were friends right away
even when i went away

we were friends right away
up until this very day
now i'm afraid for you

yet i feel bad about myself
feel guilty
but i don't want to know
what you miss
as i throw it all away

that's the way i see it anyway

we were friends all the time
i remember summertime
up until it had to end
when i'd wreck my life again

and if god gave a damn
it would be only me
cause i'm afraid for you

yet i feel bad about myself
feel guilty
but i don't want to know
what you miss
as i throw it all away

that's the way i see it anyway

and we're still friends today
i don't care what doctors say
you could have my body too
if it bought more time for you

still have the pictures
you and me were six years old
the polaroid
doesn't lie, but i hope
that we both never die so
we can play again
so we can play again
so we can play again
