Benefits With Friends

lyrics

I've grown accustomed to believe I'm an overachiever
actions that speak louder than words, I'm a believer
that things will come together in the end.
And just a little success is what I need to get started
make my way west and move through the departed
I'm making my presence known tonight.
take me sober, please take me home.
take me anywhere you go, I'm just anxious for the road
and one thing that I believe in is life's worth living
nobody is gonna hand it out to you
you gotta take it, kid you gotta grab the bull by the horns
yeah, we're friends, isn't that what got us here
haven't we made this all clear, no need to ever ever fear
we are friends isn't that what matters most in the end
I'm not riding any coat tails til I get my story out

let me know just where to go
you're the compass, I'm the vessel
let me show you what we do
I swear I'll make a believer out of you it's true

I've got a growing obsession I'm thinking about
how I'm gonna end up and I'm leaving without you now
I've never made a second guess
and now that all of my friends are coming home
I guess I've gotta leave, gonna hit the road
and I can't look back no I'm not looking back
there's nothing to see
we're still friends, isn't that what matters most
always at all of our shows
no one left out in the cold
cus we're still friends, isn't that what matters most
in the end I guess it's all irrelevant I can't get where we began

let me know just where to go
you're the compass, I'm the vessel
let me show you how we do
I will make a believer out of you it's true

(OHS)

THIS IS THE PART OF THE SONG
WHERE WE TALK ABOUT WHAT
MOVES US FORWARD AGAIN
IS IT MUSIC OR FRIENDS
CAN YOU SLEEP ON TWELVE COUCHES?
MAKE YOUR VANS INTO HOUSES?
IS IT WORTH IT TO YOU?
IS THIS WHAT YOU DEEM TRUE
THIS IS THE END.
