For My Friends

There's a price you will pay when you're on top of the world
Oh, when everyone wants to be your friend or companion
There's a fine line between your own heaven and hell
Oh, when everything goes your way, you still feel abandoned

Sometimes, nothing's better than something
Sometimes, you're better off lonely

Why is it when times are good, everyone sticks around
But when things start to go the other way,
They split and forget you
My own philosophy has been good to me
I try to stay to myself and don't get caught in the shit storm

Sometimes, nothing's better than something
Sometimes, you're better off lonely
And my airplane is taking off slowly

Most of the time I really don't mind
It's pointless to waste all of my time thinking about this shit
I spend most of my days trying to unwind and forget about it

I still worry if you're OK
I still wonder if you're the same'

Remember when times were good and so simple-minded
And then somewhere along the way we lost all connections
When you strip away, all that's left is a guilty conscience
If I took a guess, I would bet you think this song is about you
Don't you, don't you, don't you

Sometimes, nothing's better than something
Sometimes, you're better off lonely
My heart is stranded and frozen
And my airplane is taking off slowly

Most of the time I really don't mind
It's pointless to waste all of my time, thinking about this shit
I spend most of my days trying to unwind and forget about it

I still worry if you're OK
I still wonder if you're the same'

You didn't wake up before you hit the ground
I didn't stay up long enough to see you falling
You never asked for the world but then
You jumped from the rooftop
Because you had to have the last laugh

Look where you are
Look where you are now
Look where you are
I heard you say
Everyday above ground was a good one

You never see her
Hair in braids and blue eyes
Because we didn't try hard enough
She's still waiting to hear you sing
A song for her

You jumped from the rooftop
She still asks me

Where are you now, Where are you now
Where are you now, I heard you say
Everyday above ground was a good one

I want to live so much that I am going to die
I want to run so fast that I am going to fall
I probably said it once before I apologize
This will be the last time
This will be the last time

Where are you now, Where are you now
Where are you now, I heard you say
Everyday above ground

Where are you now, where are you now
Where are you now, I heard you say
Everyday above ground,
Everyday above ground
Was a good one.

When you fall back down
And you lost your crown
Get back up, walk around
Turn that frown upside down

Take my hand once again
We will all understand
Help you find a new plan

Whoooooa
It's time to help you
Get you back on your feet and on your way
If the tables were turned around
I know you'd be there for me
It all works out

Don't get lost and forget
Turn the lights off and rest
Don't you worry no more
Heal your pain and your sores
We'll be there when you wake
No more sweat or the shakes
Feel the love if you can
Lost your mind, feel insane

Whoooooa
You're feeling hopeless
And all your dreams have gone away
Take the time to heal your sorrows
And disappear from the world
Live for tomorrow

Hope you changed your ways
There's not much more to say
When the dark turns to gray
Broken hearts fade away

Whoooooa
It's time to help you
And get you back on your feet and on your way
If the tables were turned around
I know you'd be there for me
It all works out

And I hope that it all works out [x5]
