Friends
Wildflowers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Friendships never fade
Haven't felt the need to settle down
We were born and raised like this
"Let's be friends the new kids"
You know me I never hang around
But I'm thinking about it tonight
I don't worry when I'm alone
Coz I know I'll be moving on
And people try to get in our way
Well let ‘em talk I got something to say
I'm raising my glass to this
To the friends that I love and I miss
Change the scenery, running wild and free
Deep December snow lay thick on the ground
And love in the afternoon, but love always leaves too soon
You know me you cannot hold me down
Things are not the same when I come back around
When I get lost I move town
You are still the same and I remember it all
There isn't a shadow of doubt
