Friends Are Hard to Come By — FlowTiva

Verse 1

You kept my number through the winter
When every plan fell through
I had a head full of bad decisions
And a front door I never knew
You showed up with a paper coffee
And a jacket that smelled like rain
Said, “You don’t have to fix it tonight
Just don’t disappear again”

Pre-Chorus

Everybody knows your name
When the room is full and bright
But the ones who stay beside you
Know the shape of a harder night

Chorus

Friends are hard to come by
Harder still to keep
When the good days lose their shine
And the promises run deep
So if you’re standing in my corner
When the whole world passes by
I’ll spend my life remembering
Friends are hard to come by

Verse 2

We split the last two dollars
Outside the all-night store
You laughed at my old blue Chevy
When it stalled beside the shore
Years can turn a town to strangers
Names fade off the telephone
But you still know the road I’m taking
Before I say where I’m going

Pre-Chorus

Everybody wants the story
When the ending looks alright
But the ones who share the silence
Are the ones who make it through the night

Chorus

Friends are hard to come by
Harder still to keep
When the good days lose their shine
And the promises run deep
So if you’re standing in my corner
When the whole world passes by
I’ll spend my life remembering
Friends are hard to come by

Bridge

Let the years pull at the calendar
Let the miles divide the map
There are some hands you can reach for
And they reach right back
No parade, no grand confession
Just your voice through the telephone
Saying, “Meet me by the old gas station
You don’t have to face this alone”

Final Chorus

Friends are hard to come by
Harder still to keep
When the good days lose their shine
And the promises run deep
So if you’re standing in my corner
When the whole world passes by
I’ll spend my life remembering
Friends are hard to come by

Outro

Friends are hard to come by
That’s why I’m calling you tonight
Friends are hard to come by
But you got me through the fight
