(Verse 1) You love wrestling and football, out there on the field, With a deck of Pokemon cards that you’ll never yield. In the church choir, you’re singing out loud, A basketball player standing tall in the crowd. (Verse 2) You’re supportive and caring, a true friendly soul, Smart, brave, and loyal—that’s your everyday goal. A bit religious, curious, and nicely polite, Even when you get loud, you’re a bright, happy light. (Verse 3) You try to follow the rules, keeping everything straight, Though you’re really hilarious and show up a bit late (lol). You might be a little forgetful of simple daily things, Like where you left your keys or the comfort it brings. (Verse 4) But when it comes to the big things, your mind is so clear, You remember the faces of everyone near. The details we tell you, you never let go, Even if you forget names of people you know. (Verse 5) You notice our habits, the things that we do, Like crunching on chips when we’re sitting by you. You see right through us, you know all our traits, Watching the world as it changes and waits. (Verse 6) Because at the very end of the day, You’re a ninth-grade boy who is leading the way. Striving so hard, pushing right through the haze, And you’re only beginning your brightest of days. (Verse 7) Sometimes we roll our eyes at the things that you say, Or act all annoyed when you’re blocking the way. But deep down inside, we all know it’s a show, Because you’re the best friend that we happen to know. (Verse 8) We love you for exactly who you choose to be, Simon, our crazy, fun friend, wild and free. The laughter you bring keeps us all in default, A bond that is locked up inside of a vault. (Verse 9) I’ve been your close friend for three years in a row, Watching our friendship continue to grow. And even though names might slip out of your head, You still remember mine and the things that I said. [ spoken outro] hey Simon? next Tuesday at school dont be shy because this song is only some of what I wish I could tell you. So good luck when you head to the military . See you at 0500 hours tonight buddy!
