Lyrics[]
You and I met again a while ago
We were just kids when we started back then
If we don't start today we might never
So listen to me when I say don't you ever doubt the sun
As it shines down on our faces
Walk with me and keep the pace, now
We were just best friends, two against the world
The sun in the sky, green grass down below
We may not be able to go back, but you're here, and that's the next best thing
You're a robot and I'm a roller coaster
So I guess we both don't like emotions
Hold on to that feeling, when we're together it's like the ceiling disappears
Don't you know how important you are to me?
When we're together we can do anything
Don't you miss throwing all those planes with paper wings, hoping they'd fly
Hoping we'd fly too someday
We were just best friends, two against the world
The sun in the sky, green grass down below
We may not be able to go back, but you're here, and that's the next best thing
(We may not be able to go back...but you're here)
One day, we'll both see the stars all around us and know, we'll know
That a friendship like ours couldn't truly be broken because we are
The next best thing
(So much always changes but
Some things never change, like the
Friendship we've cherished so long...)x2
