My friends and I We only want the whole world I swear we'll have it some day Dreams like knives Keep a firm grip on the handle but They'll still cut you in ways But I believe In shadows getting taller Floating on the water carelessly Moving with the quicksand Learning how to hold hands crossing streets Letting go of anger Loving perfect strangers Life to me is valleys and peaks Oh life to me My grandfather died 11 days before I turned 10 years old In the summer heat Friday the 13th That was his sense of humor and I swear I keep him in me Cause I believe In shadows getting taller Floating on the water carelessly Moving with the quicksand Learning how to hold hands crossing streets Letting go of anger Loving perfect strangers Life to me is valleys and peaks Oh life to me Is saying hello Even though I know Every hello ends with goodbye It's still worth the time Cause I believe In shadows getting taller Floating on the water carelessly Moving with the quicksand Learning how to hold hands crossing streets Letting go of anger Loving perfect strangers Life to me is valleys and peaks Oh life to me
