Friends Forever

rock, Soft-focus 80s mellow rock ballad; clean chorused guitars, warm male vocals, steady laid-back kit with brushed snare, rounded bass holding a gentle groove, Verses stay intimate and close-miked; chorus widens with airy backing harmonies, bright ride cymbal, and subtle synth pads, Light guitar solo can sit over the final chorus outro, keeping the energy tender and nostalgic, mellow

[Verse 1] They said “in time” We’d understand We rolled our eyes Made bigger plans “You’ll see Just wait” We’d laugh Then leave Thought every summer Would never bleed [Pre-Chorus] We carved our names In a high school desk Swore on secrets We never kept [Chorus] We said friends are friends forever Standing in the parking lot But the numbers changed The calls got fewer Turned into “we should catch up” then not Now we look back How can it be All those faces fading from the crowd We said friends are friends forever But not many left here and now [Verse 2] First one moved For a better job One stayed stuck In the same old fog Scroll through birthdays I forgot to write Tiny green dots Blinking out of sight [Pre-Chorus] Some came back For a wedding dance Raised a glass Then lost their chance [Chorus] We said friends are friends forever Shouting over cheap backyard sound But the postcards stopped The flights got weathered Promises got buried in the ground Now we look back How can it be All those faces fading from the crowd We said friends are friends forever But not many left here and now [Bridge] Maybe “in time” Was a kind of prayer For the few who stayed For the ones still there I count them slow Like precious change Hold them close In a world that changed (oh) [Chorus] We said friends are friends forever And I still believe it Just for some The ones who stayed through every weather Quiet in the bleachers when I won Now when I look back I can see What it means to keep a vow We said friends are friends forever And the few of us here The few of us here Are forever now
