"My Friend" lyrics

When you run away from what you may
Become when the curtains fall
But you never walk onto the stage
When they call out your name
When you need to take a leap of faith
And turn a prayer into a pledge
But you chicken out every time
You stand on the edge

(Don't drown)
Don't drown in echoes of defeat
(Don't play)
Don't play your heartbreaks on repeat, on repeat, on repeat

Just call me when that song's getting old, my friend
When you watch your food getting cold again
I will sing you a story untold
Let's turn all that grey into gold
Just call me when that song's getting old, my friend, my friend

We will turn the page and burn a bridge
But we will build another one
There is nothing in this world we can't overcome
We right the wrongs, rewrite the songs
And change the words for you and me
We will cross the line and the rules
And change what they'll be

(Don't waste)
Don't waste your days in retreat
(Don't play)
Don't play your heartbreaks on repeat, on repeat, on repeat

Just call me when that song's getting old, my friend
When you watch your food getting cold again
I will sing you a story untold
Let's turn all that grey into gold
Just call me when that song's getting old, my friend, my friend

(My friend)
I'll help you find your way if you hold my hand
Just call me when that song's getting old, my friend
Just call me when that song's getting old, my friend, my friend
(My friend)
