Are You Ready
Bryan Lyrics

I've got some good friends with some loose ends that remind me of myself
I have friends who have similarities with me.

They can drink as much as me and they can smoke me half to hell
They have similar habits as me such as drinking and smoking.

And by the end of these songs when we bring our asses home
When we finish partying and return home...

They'll all be thankin' God that they're not in this pain alone
...we will all be grateful that we did not have to endure this pain alone.

And this world has been so cruel to me and it's been the same to them
Both me and my friends have experienced cruelty from the world.

But I don't mind sharin' my sweet depression
I don't hesitate to share my depression with my close ones.

With some boys who act just like me and a girl who does the same
My friends are similar to me in behavior and a girl who is the same.

I don't know how I got here but I'm glad as hell I came
I don't know how I ended up in this situation, but I am happy to be here.

Come as you are, however broken
You can come to us regardless of how damaged you feel.

And we will see if we can make you whole again
We will try to help you feel complete again.

Come as you are, with your heart wide open
Come to us with an open heart.

Bridges that you've burned they are still there just floatin'
Even if you severed some ties, they still exist in some form.

Remember us in our bright eyed days too young to go inside
Think back to the days when we were young and full of hope and yet too young to enter some places.

Sittin' drunk on curbs tryin' to get us ourselves a rise
We would sit on curbs, drunk, trying to achieve something worthwhile.

Of the pretty girls who walk down there on Elgin Avenue
We would admire the attractive girls who passed by on Elgin Avenue.

Oklahoma sure is quiet but it has itself a view
Oklahoma is peaceful, but it has a beautiful sight.

And how am I supposed to know the good times that I'm in
It's difficult to realize when you're in the midst of good times.

If the good is only seen when I'm lookin' back at them
Sometimes we only recognize good times in retrospect.

The boys are gettin' off work and they're haulin' on home
The guys are finishing work and heading home.

If I am meant for anything it's to show you you're not alone
Perhaps my purpose is to demonstrate that you aren't alone.

I've got some good friends with some loose ends that remind me of myself
I have friends who are similar to me.

They can drink as much as me and they can smoke me half to hell
They share my habits such as drinking and smoking.

And by the end of these songs when we bring our asses home
At the conclusion of our partying, when we are heading home...

They'll all be thankin' God we're not in this pain alone
...we will all be grateful that we did not have to endure this pain alone.
