Friends

I got some friends with trouble sleeping

At a full moon, howling like a beast, they fall in

Line with what their instincts tell them

To make it worth the hurt they're feeling

Like spirits in the night we walk

With the winter's shadows lost

Fill these cozy bars with talk

Of what we need and what we've lost

Waking up to this

Just like I knew I would

I know the work is hard

I know the struggle's good

I guess it didn't work

Quite like we thought it would

I've got some friends that roll with punches

Can make a struggle feel like a waltz with loved ones

And help you shake your hands with demons

Before they help you, make them leave you

And with their arms around my shoulder

To make my head and my heart feel bolder

And help me feel the love I'm holding

And let go of the pain

I've got some friends that swim in oceans

In the middle of the winter's coldest

Days and bare feet burning coals they

Walk along like streets of gold

And how we used to fill our souls

Might not have time for that no more

Might punch the clock feel the void calling out

Like it did before
