we’ll be friends
this is after christmas
while her family watches television
she and i go out and clean the kitchen
and we’re happy we’re happy we’re happy we’re happy we’re happy
this is bravery
this is the romance of the century
this is music right in front of me
hearts racing i reach out she’s shaking and i’m shaking and we’re shaking
this is how to love
this is our final night
this is the summer of 2005
all our friends in the firelight
and they’re dancing they’re laughing they’re rolling they’re laughing they’re dancing
this is heartbreak
this is knowing what she’s gonna say
we’ll be friends alright ok ok
but what happened what happened what happened what happened what happened
this is how to love
sing it out sing it out sing it out sing it out
i’m driving through our hometown remembering the thunder
the lake water raging our heads going under
and i wonder what she’d say if i stopped by to see her
i’ve never been mean but i’ve never been very brave either
i think she’d say
play that song we used to play
this is how to love
you keep singing out of your body
you keep singing out of your mouth
you keep singing out of your bones
sing it out sing it out
