Friends - Paint By Numbers

So this is the way we say thank you for staying so close

To my side for all these years

I’ve watched you slip as we grow old

And the walls are stained with memories to each his own

My favorite is the time I held you

Off the edge then let go

Don’t close your eyes and everything will be just fine

You carry disease, I carry the only remedy

And once you ingest the side effects are permanent

This is how they found you

The same way that I left you

Your body holds the evidence

The obvious is put on display again

Actions have spoken loud, words have begun to fail

You never gave a thought to help

So help yourself, I know you will

And you’re very proud I envy your seasoned skill

A scratch of the surface seemed so small

But take a look what’s revealed

Just close your eyes

And I will make everything alright
