When I asked you the way
Out of here
You told me that nothing you could say
Would make me disappear
And I guess I knew that you were right
So we had a drink and then a fight
Lasted the better part of the night
I told you I wanted to be like
The color and the light
Filling up everything with
The brightest kind of bright
You just smiled at me
The way you do
When you don't want to break
My heart in two
And I keep looking back to you
We take three steps forward
Then a couple back
Still be ahead of the game
If not quite on track
Color fades and light does burn
But you will always be my friend
Until the bitter end
