Just a kid


You were born in September, the same month we finally met
When no one we knew remembered we'd been gone last year
Spoke of living in England, changed your vocabulary
Got a girlfriend I still see every now and then
We were just kids

We moved into an apartment above a two-car garage
When neither one of us had 'em, it was overkill
We'd go out drinking on Sundays, a love story in some ways
My first best friend I'll never see again

Twenty years by your side, you gave up your dream for mine
It was a leap of a kind of faith I'd never known
Sang for you and your redhead, surrounding your deathbed
Forty years in, you were just a kid

Now I'm all alone, out on the street
Singing in the phone, they're looking at me
And there was a time when I might have cared
But this one's for my best friend, and he's everywhere

You had a million-watt smile, you were a mess for a while
You never showed up on time, you were the best of them
Your diamond heart was a lighthouse, without you, the light's out
I'll miss you forever and ever, amen

All that time chasing rainbows, driving in the rain
So much we had to learn from the pain of living
You never got to get married, and I hate where you're buried
You never got old, you were just a kid

Now I'm all alone, out on the street
Singing in the phone, they're looking at me
And there was a time when I might have cared
But this one's for my best friend, so let 'em stare

As I say your name and I kiss the sky
And I feel no space between you and I
I smile and weep, 'cause I know you're there
This one's for my best friend, and he's everywhere
He's everywhere

Twenty years by your side, what a beautiful ride
Even though I've been crying, I'd do it all again
You did not have to ask me to remember you laughing
You know that I did, you were just a kid

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
