Murs - A Friend's Blues lyrics

Now when you're young, d**h can make you aware of your mortality At times we feel invincible, lose sight of reality Until it takes a loved one, residing in our circle It'll hurt you cause you miss 'em Once were close, down you're distant And it hurts just to know that they could go at any instant Gotta love 'em by the minute, now you realize this It's sad it takes a loss to appreciate the gifts So celebrate the occasion, just breathing is amazin' To see the sun rise and set, at a days end A chance to fix mistakes that we regret makin' Find joy in the simple things, no time for complainin' The sun will shine, it can't always be rainin' I know it hurts deep, but you must maintain it I seen it in my homeboys Terry and Tom They've lost so many, yet they keep so strong To lose a parent or a sibling and have the will to keep living Takes so much strength, so I admire y'all And one day hope to find out, what is (bias?) y'all And I'm still mad, askin' why it happens at all Some say that God takes them, and they lean on mythology But I choose to believe that its divine lottery I can't believe God's lookin' down, waitin' to slaughter me I can't live in fear, and I can't live here Forever, so I treasure every moment And its friendship, that I value the most That kinship, the ones we hold close And dear, and fear the most of losin' But keep chewin' The memories brewin', cause life keeps movin' And its friendship, that I value the most That kinship, the ones we hold close And dear, and fear the most of losin' But keep chewin' The memories brewin', cause life keeps movin' We came together like family, like it was our first d**h Unexpected, so quick, so sudden, the worst yet Didn't get to know the girl, 'til two years after her first breath Still we loved her like a sister, as a depth of first steps Got the call out of town, so alone I first wept Deep pain, from the same place, is where this verse crept Never slept in that bed again The memory was too tragic, looked up and screamed goodbye Knew you wouldn't be present at the wake, in your casket Now your askin' things change since you left, not really We still playin' games, BSin', actin' silly See she don't talk to her and, she don't like me and Will we work things out, thats not likely I mean where will we start Do we mend friendships, or let things fall apart Will we still be in touch, honestly I don't know But you're in my heart forever Its friendship, that I value the most That kinship, the ones we hold close And dear, and fear the most of losin' But keep chewin' The memories brewin', cause life keeps movin' And its friendship, that I value the most That kinship, the ones we hold close And dear, and fear the most of losin' But keep chewin' The memories brewin', cause life keeps movin' And its friendship, that I value the most That kinship, the ones we hold close And dear, and fear the most of losin' But keep chewin' Pour out a little brew and blow a blunt while your cruisin' For friends that your choosin', gotta love 'em 'fore you lose 'em Stand strong when you do it, tough times, live through 'em Don't give into 'em, stay goal pursuin' and Doin' what your doin' 'cause life keeps movin' on
