Paroles de 'A Friend's Blues' par Murs

Now when you're young, death can make you aware of your mortality

At times we feel invincible, lose sight of reality

Until it takes a loved one, residing in our circle

It'll hurt you cause you miss 'em

Once were close, down you're distant

And it hurts just to know that they could go at any instant

Gotta love 'em by the minute, now you realize this

It's sad it takes a loss to appreciate the gifts

So celebrate the occasion, just breathing is amazin'

To see the sun rise and set, at a days end

A chance to fix mistakes that we regret makin'

Find joy in the simple things, no time for complainin'

The sun will shine, it can't always be rainin'

I know it hurts deep, but you must maintain it

I seen it in my homeboys Terry and Tom

They've lost so many, yet they keep so strong

To lose a parent or a sibling and have the will to keep living

Takes so much strength, so I admire y'all

And one day hope to find out, what is (bias?) y'all

And I'm still mad, askin' why it happens at all

Some say that God takes them, and they lean on mythology

But I choose to believe that its divine lottery

I can't believe God's lookin' down, waitin' to slaughter me

I can't live in fear, and I can't live here

Forever, so I treasure every moment

And its friendship, that I value the most

That kinship, the ones we hold close

And dear, and fear the most of losin'

But keep chewin'

The memories brewin', cause life keeps movin'

And its friendship, that I value the most

That kinship, the ones we hold close

And dear, and fear the most of losin'

But keep chewin'

The memories brewin', cause life keeps movin'

We came together like family, like it was our first death

Unexpected, so quick, so sudden, the worst yet

Didn't get to know the girl, 'til two years after her first breath

Still we loved her like a sister, as a depth of first steps

Got the call out of town, so alone I first wept

Deep pain, from the same place, is where this verse crept

Never slept in that bed again

The memory was too tragic, looked up and screamed goodbye

Knew you wouldn't be present at the wake, in your casket

Now your askin' things change since you left, not really

We still playin' games, BSin', actin' silly

See she don't talk to her and, she don't like me and

Will we work things out, thats not likely

I mean where will we start

Do we mend friendships, or let things fall apart

Will we still be in touch, honestly I don't know

But you're in my heart forever

Its friendship, that I value the most

That kinship, the ones we hold close

And dear, and fear the most of losin'

But keep chewin'

The memories brewin', cause life keeps movin'

And its friendship, that I value the most

That kinship, the ones we hold close

And dear, and fear the most of losin'

But keep chewin'

The memories brewin', cause life keeps movin'

And its friendship, that I value the most

That kinship, the ones we hold close

And dear, and fear the most of losin'

But keep chewin'

Pour out a little brew and blow a blunt while your cruisin'

For friends that your choosin', gotta love 'em 'fore you lose 'em

Stand strong when you do it, tough times, live through 'em

Don't give into 'em, stay goal pursuin' and

Doin' what your doin' 'cause life keeps movin' on
