My Best Friend

Lyrics

Trinkets on string that you'd tied to a twig Still hanging on the wall of our house, couldn't really figure it out Why would you leave just that one little piece? Better it's now I let you know Better it's now I let you know Sometimes I'd feel there's a secret you keep Like you never thought I would notice Never thought I would notice Comes up in pauses in sentences, raw Better it's now I let you know Better it's now I let you know No mattеr the need, or the distance bеtween us --Thought you would find me speechless and writhing?-- I'd say it's all good cuz you know that I would Do anything to defend my best friend Do anything to defend my best friend Nippin' at toes on the gravelly road Gotta watch out for ticks, ya know Gotta check Frankie's paws at home In passing reminders I grasp at our life Better it's now we keep it quiet, but I can't let go Better it's now we keep it quiet, but I can't let go No matter the need — I couldn't burn down this house alone No leaf in the breeze — I couldn't sweep my own floor alone Not sick with disease — I couldn't tend to myself in bed Not any of these: No matter the need, or the distance between us --Thought you would find me speechless and writhing?-- --Thought I would cave?-- --Thought I'd wither and rage?-- --That I'd rot and decay?-- It's been always this way: I would do anything to defend you, my friend Do anything to defend you, my friend
