For every friend that I know
Some move fast, some move slow
There’s no breathing in hell
Unless you’re saved by the Bell
And though my conscience is clear
Always guilt reappears
Half profane, half sacred
Who’s the judge of a secret?
If it’s all worthwhile
For every tear that I’ve been sheddin’
The offer is still withstandin’
Yes it took a while
For every one that I befriended
There’s a slight misunderstanding
But now
Don’t let the years run you by
Of all the girls that I know
Some said yes, some said no
And for all that we know
They’re all stars of the show
And as sincere as they’re naked
Yeah they’re trippin’ as they’re walking’
Towards love, towards hatred
On the steps of the staircase
If it’s all worthwhile
For every tear that I’ve been sheddin’
The offer is still withstandin’
Yes it took a while
For every one that I befriended
There’s a slight misunderstanding
But now
Don’t let the years run you by
Oh how
Don’t let the years run you by
