My best friend told me to let her be
she’d rather sit under that old wishing tree
and wish her way back to the stars
but those stars aren’t ours-they’re just candy bars
And a friend’s a friend til you get too close
and you find what really matters most
and what matters most ain’t a fool like me
when you can run on back to your wishing tree
Chorus:
But don’t take me back to the wishing tree
don’t take me back that’s enough for me
why don’t you give me a reason to stick around
or take me back to where I was found
And a good friend told me about her fears
she said we could heal the world with tears
all I had to give her was all I had
and then her pain wouldn’t feel so bad
And a friend’s a friend til you get too close
and you find what really matters most
and what matters most ain’t your stupid crush
when you leave compassion in the dust
Chorus
You know my teacher asked me for some words of wise
all I could do was apologize
did you want the truth or did you want more lies?
I got a lot of both but only one survives
And a game’s a game til you get too close
and you find what really matters most
and what matters most is not to get too close
what matters most is not to get too close
Chorus
