So I told you I was new
You said I looked a bit year two
And didn't know where to begin
I said I used to be the geek
Who always turned the other cheek
And had a hard time fitting in

And so we looked ahead and tried
To see on to the other side
But I didn't understand
That admitting I don't know
Exactly where to go
Is what it takes to be a man

Could you have known that you could be
Everything to me?
Could I have known about anything at all?

And when I look back on
Where it began
It means so much to me
And I can see that you
Were looking for something, too
And found what you believed

But I almost forgot
While I was getting all upcaught
In my work and friends and stuff
There's something I left out
It's what it was all about
And it started getting rough

So I closed my eyes and cried
I prayed to God and tried
To finally make amends
And He came to me and said
"Lift up your lonely head,
because I am your best friend."

I should have known, that He would be
Everything to me
Before I knew about anything at all

And when I think back on
Where it all began
It means so much to me
I can see that you
Were looking for something, too
And found what you believed

We learned to laugh and cry
Sometimes at the same time
But that's what friends are for
So if you'll bear with me my friend
It doesn't have to be the end
There is so much more
