Zutons - You Know You Can Be Friends lyrics

rate me

We were friends

When we were young

And we thought

That would carry on

But then our families

Oh, they moved along

And we realized

That all our thoughts had been wrong

And we had to find

friends in a new place

Because as we get older

We all need a shoulder to lean on

To help us along

Remember when we were young

We'd play games

We'd knock on doors and run

And if I'd get caught

Well, you'd always hang on

And if it'd happen to you

Well I know to leave would be wrong

And that's the sign of a good mate

Because as we get older

We all need a shoulder to lean on

To help us along

Cause we grow and we're gone

I thought once or twice

To get in touch

But my thoughts

Well they never amounted to much

And we'd probably changed

in the most peculiar ways

And all that we talk about

is what we call the good old days

And we had to find friends in a new place

Because as we get older

We all need a shoulder to lean on

To help us along

And we would roam

And we're gone

Cause we all need a friend

need a friend, need a friend

Yeah we all need a friend

need a friend, need a friend

We need a friend
