Did you hear the one about the friend of a a friend who tried to end it all

At the last moment he picked up the phone and gave you a call

You thought about letting it ring, but you answered after all

And there you were, put on the spot at the end of the other line

For questions that you never thought you'd ever have to answer to

Who do you turn to when the ones you always turn to go and turn on you

It leaves you in the dark, feeling for a switch to turn it on again

There are no easy answers, the questions remain tough

There's no shortcuts to easy street, no corners you can cut

Can you cut this diamond in the rough

And it's good to see you alive

Sign your will to survive

A look into your heart before it sees its final hour

Lived each day like there is no tomorrow

Beyond this mess ahead there is a street so very hard to find

Though I have got to lay my head down at this dead end so many times

And if we ever get to easy street, you can say with a smile

I came just for the ride
