[Intro] [Fast synth hook] [Driving bass and crisp electronic drums] [Verse 1] You know I never answer when you call You know I lose my keys, I lose it all You say I'm impossible, I say you're worse We laugh about it, then we make things worse You moved three hundred miles away I haven't seen you since the month of May But when you called me late last night I heard your voice and knew it wasn't right [Pre-Chorus] You didn't have to tell me everything I heard the silence underneath Some things don't need a telephone I knew you needed someone home [Chorus] Friends will be friends, when the good times end When the whole world turns and you need a friend You don't have to call, you don't have to explain I'll be there for you, through the sunshine and rain Friends will be friends, though the years may change Though we live our lives on a different page We can lose touch, we can disappear But when it matters, I'll be here [Verse 2] You never liked the man I chose I never liked the way your story goes We said some things we shouldn't have said Then shared a drink and laughed instead You've seen me crying, you've seen me proud You've seen me dancing when the music's too loud You know the things I never tell And somehow you still know me well [Pre-Chorus] We don't need to talk every day We don't need to know what words to say Some friendships don't need constant proof They're still there when the years move through [Chorus] Friends will be friends, when the good times end When the whole world turns and you need a friend You don't have to call, you don't have to explain I'll be there for you, through the sunshine and rain Friends will be friends, though the years may change Though we live our lives on a different page We can lose touch, we can disappear But when it matters, I'll be here [Instrumental Break] [Fast synthesizer lead] [Driving bass] [Clean guitar riff] [Short female vocal ad-libs] [Bridge] Maybe we'll fight, maybe we'll leave Maybe we'll say things we don't really mean Maybe we'll go our separate ways And not speak for days and days But when you need me, I'll know the sign And when I need you, you'll be there in time That's not a promise written in stone It's just the way we've always known [Breakdown] [Drums briefly reduced] [Female vocal with light backing harmonies] You don't have to call... You don't have to explain... I know where you are... And I'll come anyway... [Final Chorus] [Full arrangement returns] [Stronger doubled lead vocal] Friends will be friends, when the good times end When the whole world turns and you need a friend You don't have to call, you don't have to explain I'll be there for you, through the sunshine and rain Friends will be friends, though the years may change Though we live our lives on a different page We can lose touch, we can disappear But when it matters, I'll be here [Final Chorus] Friends will be friends... That's the way it goes Friends will be friends... More than anybody knows [Outro] [Repeated synth hook] [Female vocal] When it matters... I'll be here...
