The Ones We Seek

The one I seek when I'm in trouble once again The one I've known a lifetime The one I call my friend The kind of bastard that would tell me to my face When I've had enough, and it's time to go And puts me in my place If the skies come tumbling overhead And I don't have you beside me anymore Close the book, shut my eyes I go to bed Remembering the good times and don't cry about the sad When the day breaks, because it could not safely land Then I call upon the one that doesn't dress up or pretend There's too much value put on people and their fame Living in this cardboard world Where plastic has a name If the skies come tumbling overhead And I don't have you beside me anymore Close the book, shut my eyes I go to bed Remembering the good times and don't cry about the sad no 'Cause if the skies they come tumbling overhead And I don't have you beside me anymore Close the book, shut my eyes I go to bed Remembering the good times and don't whine Don't whine about the sad If the skies they come tumbling overhead And I don't have you beside me anymore Close the book, shut my eyes I go to bed Remembering the good times and don't whine about Don't whine about the sad If the skies come tumbling, then we'll abide and have a drink Before there's nothing anymore I close the book and shut my eyes I spill my guts, won't tell you lies I'm begging you please The one I seek when I'm in trouble once again The one I've known a lifetime The one I call my friend
