Friend
Rachael Marie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Before the sun sets and I might forget to tell you
I'm grateful we met and happy I get to know you
Before this day ends and we both fall into tomorrow
I'm grateful we're friends, I'm here to the end
Just letting you know
Let's watch the sunrise paint golden highlights on our lives
Bathe both our faces and all of the places we'll get to in time
Let's stay a little longer I'm starting to feel stronger than my fear
I'm safest by your side cause you make me feel like I just belong here
When You count the stars from wherever you are I'm counting along
Cause no matter the distance the stars they still glisten so bright and so strong
When I'm in darkness and life's at its hardest the light has burnt out
You'll reach out and find me, I don't have to worry I know you're around
We'll watch the sunrise paint golden highlights on our lives
Bathe both our faces and all of the places we'll get to in time
Let's stay a little longer I'm starting to feel stronger than my fear
I'm safest by your side cause you make me feel like I just belong here
No matter where I go
You'll always be my home
No matter who you've been
You'll always be my friend
No matter where I go
You'll always be my home
No matter who you've been
You'll always be my friend
No matter where I go
You'll always be my home
No matter who you've been
You'll always be my friend




You'll always be my friend
You'll always be my friend
