To know why I cry every time I see a sunset

To know why I smile at all the things I can't forget

To know why my heart may take a while to mend

To know me, you would have to know my friend.

I can't help but dream when I hear a train comin'

I can't help but laugh when I lose my keys again

If you had to count my quirks, there'd be a dozen

To know me, you would have to know my friend.

If you've ever seen fireworks lightin' up the sky

Then you know how quickly time goes in the blink of an eye

Oh, and there's a hidden treasure you'll take away with you

If you've ever loved someone and they had to leave too soon.

To know what I'd trade for one more day to have 'em

To know what it takes to live my life without them

I could tell you all the details of who I am

But then again, to know me, you would have to know my friend.

If you've ever heard a bird sing in the middle of the night

Then you know that heaven's waitin' to take you by surprise

Oh, and the more you love somebody, the more you have to lose

But when they leave this world, they leave their fingerprints on you.

To know why I keep on pushin' past the limit

To know why I live every day like it's the end

To know why I'm grateful every single minute

To know me, you would have to know my friend.

To know me, you would have to know my friend.
