Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never thought I'd feel this way
But as far as I can tell
We feel the way we do today
And so by the way I fucking love you
And
For the times that we're appart
Just close your eyes and know it's from the bottom of my heart
And so by the way I thank you
Keep smilin'
Keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me
for sure
that's what friends are for
In good times
And bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
Well you came and trusted me
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way I fucking thank you....
And
For the times when we're apart
Well just close your eyes and know
this is coming from the bottom of my heart
And then by the way I thank you
Keep smilin'
Keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me
for sure
that's what friends are for
In good times
And bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
(Repeat until end)
