““If I had known all the things you didnt want me to I would have worried more about you but I would not have walked away Beautiful man with the freckles underneath the tan Understanding underneath the grin I would not have walked away You couldnt have got rid of me back then Not even if you tried Cause I couldnt wait to really be your friend I always thought that wed have time Now I look up, I think I see you in a silvery cup Trying to tell us that weve cried enough but I dont want to walk away Youre with me in a way that you will always be And I hope that you feel free I know this world is never gonna be the same Im gonna keep saying your name I dont want to walk away You cant get rid of me that fast Ill come and find you in my dreams Youre a part of all things that last All the way to eternity””
