[00:00.35]You didn't know me when you were a kid
[00:06.33]In trouble at school, alone at lunch again
[00:12.91]I didn't know you when I broke my knee
[00:18.52]Spent the summer on crutches and everybody teased
[00:25.09]Except for this one friend I almost forgot
[00:33.40]
[00:59.24]You didn't know me, but he knew me best
[01:05.30]The weight of my brain and the fear of my cold head
[01:11.90]You never saw me, interred in the ice
[01:17.78]My friend tried to melt, but he couldn't thaw me out right
[01:24.71]So I got ditched freezing, alone with my thoughts
[01:32.70]And though I once said I was better off just being dead
[01:39.28]Better off just being dead, without my old friend
[01:45.76]True, I once said, I was better off just being dead
[01:51.80]But I didn't know you yet
[01:58.79]You didn't know me, but you got cold, too
[02:05.05]And your mind was heavy, and you thought you might lose it
[02:11.30]Well everything fucked up we both felt before
[02:17.60]I'm glad for it all if it got us where we are
[02:23.94]With you in the boat there, I almost forgot
[02:30.56]How I once said I was better off just being dead
[02:37.04]Better off just being dead, I didn't know you yet
[02:43.31]And you might've said, you were better off just being dead
[02:49.53]But I'm looking out for you, my friend, I'm looking
[02:56.46]
[03:21.79]I didn't know you when you were a kid
[03:27.98]But swimming with you, it sure feels like I did
