All My Friends Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's all gone, for the last time it seems
And it's a shame, all the feelings were lost in our scheme
The things we had were fine, yeah
Did we have to have them all the time
Some day we'll find, we should have relied on time
[Verse 2]
All my friends came to see me this year, oh yeah
And I was glad to have them here, whoa
And maybe we've gone away
We can come back any old day
If we find how to rely on time, whoa
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 2 lines 3-5]
And maybe we've gone away
We can come back any old day
If we find how to rely on time
[Verse 3 / Outro]
All my love wrote to me through the years
About the way friends can laugh at their fears
Oh and it's a lie
The better part of you
Make it all come true
If we find how to rely on time
(If we find how to rely on time)
If we find how to rely on time
