Keep Your Friends Close Lyrics & Tabs by Dylan Owen
Keep Your Friends Close
guitar chords lyrics
Let us go forward together
Safe in a memory, a highway passing me by
If we ever get off track for a minute then
Promise me you won't forget how we spent half of our lives
No one's gonna love you more than I do
Even if it means we've gotta go our separate ways after a while
I learned to keep my friends close through hard times
I'll always back you up like external hard drives
Sipping bottles up on North Church, watching the cars slide
In snowy little Goshen, our lives
Can only be defined and redefined through all these cycles we're assigned
And our experiences are marks tied to everything we leave behind
I'm looking for a reason I can't seem to find
I guess that people change, and I guess that even I've learned a lesson
To keep your friends close, and keep your better your better friends closer
I'm looking for a reason I can't seem to find
I guess that people change, and I guess that even I've learned a lesson
To keep your friends close, and keep your better your better friends closer
Yeah, that's right, believe it
I've been trying to say goodbye to this ghost town
‘Cause this is how I cope, these are all the sad thoughts I said that I wish I wrote down
I disappeared the moment that she left, I almost broke down
Invisible, thank god for Ghost, I know I'm not alone
This is my first journal entry in a long time, a real enlightenment
It's been a year and a half since I didn't feel like writing
Afraid to document the feelings that evoke
Well if you wanna change my life, I won't
I keep my friends close
I keep my friends close
And keep my better friends closer
Let us go forward together
Safe in a memory, a highway passing me by
If we ever get off track for a minute then
Promise me you won't forget how we spent half of our lives
No one's gonna love you more than I do
Even if it means we've gotta go our separate ways after a while
I learned to keep my friends close through hard times
I'll always back you up like external hard drives
And she was the last remaining fixture of my childhood
Going, going, gone miles away
If I could choose between moving forward or believing in my sandlot blues
I'd pick my head up, and I'd stand on proof
‘Cause I know the neighborhood kids got love like no others
And I know the happiest part of my life was with each other
And I know she left my heart in pieces, and smiles wrinkle
But I'm here to make the wrinkles smile, a lead on what we suffered
‘Cause I've been trying to say goodbye to this ghost town in my heart
I walk alone but never hold my nose down, try hard
The simple things are different when they're changing
And this town looks so goddamn pretty when it's raining
Yeah, remember how we found ourselves the next day?
A real enlightenment
Remember how we shared our guts?
We didn't feel like writing
Now I'm afraid that I'm afraid to let it go
Well if you wanna change my life, I won't
I keep my friends close
I keep my friends close
And keep my better friends closer
Let us go forward together
Safe in a memory, a highway passing me by
If we ever get off track for a minute then
Promise me you won't forget how we spent half of our lives
No one's gonna love you more than I do
Even if it means we've gotta go our separate ways after a while
I learned to keep my friends close through hard times
I'll always back you up like external hard drives
Sipping bottles up on North Church, watching the cars slide
In snowy little Goshen, our lives
Can only be defined and redefined through all these cycles we're assigned
And our experiences are marks of what we leave behind
I'm looking for a reason I can't seem to find
I guess that people change, and I guess that even I've learned a lesson
To keep your friends close, and keep your better your better friends closer
Yeah, that's right, believe it
I've been trying to say goodbye
Let us go forward together
Safe in a memory, a highway passing me by
If we ever get off track for a minute then
Promise me you won't forget how we spent half of our lives
No one's gonna love you more than I do
Even if it means we've gotta go our separate ways after a while
I learned to keep my friends close through hard times
I'll always back you up like external hard drives
Let us go forward together
Safe in a memory, a highway passing me by
If we ever get off track for a minute then
Promise me you won't forget how we spent half of our lives
No one's gonna love you more than I do
Even if it means we've gotta go our separate ways after a while
I learned to keep my friends close through hard times
I'll always back you up like external hard drives
And I know...
