Grown-ups have done so much more stuff than me<br/> | |||
There's many things that I still want to see<br/> | |||
Now I take my backpack to the world<br/> | |||
and fill it with memories<br/> | |||
My favorite baseball cap rests on my head<br/> | |||
My worn out sneakers, faded white and red<br/> | |||
My own guitar pick, shiny and clear<br/> | |||
Safe in my pocket, right here<br/> | |||
Though sometimes I got sad and almost cried<br/> | |||
You were right there with me, by my side<br/> | |||
I knew we were friends to the core<br/> | |||
But maybe it was something more<br/> | |||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |||
Together, we walked that road for so long<br/> | |||
We laughed, we played, we got hurt, we grew strong<br/> | |||
When taking short-cuts, and getting lost<br/> | |||
I learned what I’d known all along<br/> | |||
That even if you can’t put faith in those<br/> | |||
Who you meet, and lose, and love, and hug<br/> | |||
Overall, you just can't give up<br/> | |||
Believing in your friends<br/> | |||
And just by being there, you've woken me<br/> | |||
Just by being who you’d always be<br/> | |||
Now I see, you helped me to know<br/> | |||
The stronger, happier me<br/> | |||
Because<br/> | |||
Like a gentle breeze, through the grass and the pine trees<br/> | |||
You always wore a smile<br/> | |||
Now we, who shared our Smiles and Tears...<br/> | |||
...I miss you...<br/> | |||
We two are now far apart...<br/> | |||
