I'm frightened by the friends that disappear
As they float through the years
And the days gone by
I'm frightened by the future that draws near
And the promises we dare
To make, then break
Along the way
I'm old enough to die
I'm young enough to live
I'm fresh enough to try
I'm tired enough to quit
All these silly things I dream
Fall apart at the seams
And waste away
As time goes by
Naïve enough to dream
Thankful enough to pray
Watch over my friends
For the rest of their days
The ones that are near
The ones that are far
The ones that are living
And the ones in the stars
Through the chapters of our lives
Thick plots are disguised
By the hearts we take
And throw away
For every smile there's a tear
For every memory there's a fear
That we keep locked inside
Our minds
It's the small things in the end
The things that make amends
And tie the loose ends
Of our lives
It's a laugh then it's a song
Always dancing all night long
First kiss, first love
First heartache
Naïve enough to dream
Thankful enough to pray
Watch over my friends
For the rest of their days
The ones that are near
The ones that are far
The ones that are living
And the ones in the stars
The ones in the stars tonight
The ones in the stars tonight
Slowly you fade into the night
The ghost of the wrongs I could not right
Slipping away like the fading sun
Of all the things, I remember the one
Chance, and the two hearts, and the three
Times you swore to be my friend
Never again, I won't forget you my friend
I won't forget you my friend
I won't forget you my friend
