"I don't need easy. I just need possible"


Verse 1
I remember
It was in the night of December
And we were friends and nothing was going to change
I felt this night starting off a little strange
And I wished that our friendship wouldn’t end
When you left you told me to find a new best friend
You said you were leaving and wouldn’t come back
I was sad and taken aback
Verse 2
But you told me that I should never forget
“As long as we are together I am your debt
As long as we’re together, the sun still shines
I have trust that you can read between the lines
When I go away promise me that you will stay
I’ll be yours throughout the day
And also through the night
We can win the fight”
Chorus
As I was saying my last goodbyes
You told me to always seek towards the skies
And when I find his face
Everything starts to fall into place
When all the days go by with me gone
Promise me you will have me as your front line pawn
What I have to wait and see
Is that he truly watches over
He guides me
He’s as firm as an oak tree
I start to dismember
But then I remember
Verse 2
But you told me that I should never forget
“As long as we are together I am your debt
As long as we’re together, the sun still shines
I have trust that you can read between the lines
When I go away promise me that you will stay
I’ll be yours throughout the day
And also through the night
We can win the fight”
Bridge
When the worries, fears, and doubts come
You are there for me cleaning up the crumbs
I start to feel like I’m flying to outer space
You bring me down to earth and I read the words on your face
Verse 2
But you told me that I should never forget
“As long as we are together I am your debt
As long as we’re together, the sun still shines
I have trust that you can read between the lines
When I go away promise me that you will stay
I’ll be yours throughout the day
And also through the night
We can win the fight”

He was. Unfortunately, he moved away to Penn. before I started the 8th grade.
