Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We skipped last period just to drive
The road ahead was open wide
I sang along with the radio
Your belief in me helped me grow
[Verse 2]
We’d talk for hours, let time slide
Poured out our hearts with nothing to hide
You wanted to guide me, and get me known
But I said no, had to stand on my own
[Chorus]
(We’ve been) Friends forever
(We’ve been) Friends forever
[Verse 3]
I had a fire I had to chase
Needed to run at my own pace
I made it through, but not your way
And that stills hangs in the air today
[Bridge]
I’m sorry I hurt you which I regret
For too many years it’s been unsaid
[Verse 4]
Heard you’re in Tampa — with kids, and a view
Built something steady, like I knew you’d do
I think of you and all I owe
And I wrote this song to let you know
[Chorus]
(We’ll be) Friends forever
(We’ll be) Friends forever
