My heart ticks in beat with
These kids that I grew up with
Living like life's going out of style
And you came to watch us play
Like a "big shot talent" but
At the end of the day you know, whoa
Where we come from
And where we call home (whoa)

Hey Chris, you were our only friend
And I know this is belated, but we love you back

They'll say it's not worth it
So we'll leave this town in ruin
Living like life's going out of style
And you came to watch us play
Like a "big shot talent" but
At the end of the day you know, whoa
Those busted lips we take back home

Hey Chris, you were our only friend
And I know this is belated, but we love you back (so...)
Hey Chris, you were our only friend
And I know this is belated, but we love you back

I know you would be there either way
I'm so glad it seems like these times will never fade
I know you would be there either way
(so I'll tell everyone how much this means to me)
I'm so glad it seems like these times will never fade

Hey Chris, you were our only friend
And I know this is belated, but we love you back
Hey Chris, you were our only friend (our only friend)
And I know this is belated, but we love you back

I know you would be there either way
I'm so glad it seems like these times will never fade
I know you would be there either way
(hey Chris, you were our only friend)
I'm so glad it seems like these times will never fade
(and I know this is belated, but we love you back)
