lyrics

I just ran into a few someone's today, someone's that I never really knew. And I used to think that I had them all so figured out... But No,
none of it's true, 'cause I never knew you. And now, the truth of it is, is I wanna be like you. So "Hello, good friend. I wanna be next to you,
for my head, for my heart, for what's true."

So I'll burn all the thoughts of the things that I once said, because you tore down the walls that the world has put inside my head, and I just get sick of the things that we think we think we know...
But No, none of it's true, 'cause I never knew you. And now the truth of it is, is I wanna be like you. So "Hello, good friend. I wanna be next to you, for my head, for my heart, for what's true."

So take me, and save me, and change me, and then make me, and
embrace me, and then brave my heart for you. Because I can't go on without you and it's time for something new.

And no, none of it's true, 'cause I never knew you. And now, the truth of it is, is I wanna be like you. So "Hello, good friend. I wanna be next to you, for my head, for my heart, for what's true."

And as they strolled along, my heart broke out in song from all the
things and the thoughts and assumptions that I had wrong, so now I'll be on my way, to make this claim, "I'll make it famous in every way,
I'll make it stay, when I will say... That No, none of it's true, 'cause I never knew you. And now, the truth of it is, is I wanna be like you.
So "Hello, good friend. I wanna be next to you, for my head, for my heart, for what's true."
