"Friend" lyrics - BRANDI CARLILE

Hold me up I think I'm falling
Completely unaware I think you're great
So hold me down I think I'm all in
I left myself wide open and it's more than I can take

Tell me would you recognize me walking down the street
If my eyes were clouded over just like everyone you meet
Tell me would you want me if I gave it up for you
Chalk it up to victory you know we always do

I am dignified, I am going down
I-I-I am terrified
I-I-I'll be seeing you around, I guess... friend
If that is what you are, friend

So who can keep the day from ending?
Keep the sun from going down
I was happier pretending
Till the shadows hide your face and I can barely make a sound

Tell me do you think about me try to fall asleep without me
Far exceeding hours all the normal people keep
Stand in front of mirrors and reflect upon a day
Well nothing you're amazing in your grace and by the way

I am dignified, I am going down
I-I-I am terrified
I-I-I'll be seeing you around, I guess... friend
If that is what you are, friend

So maybe I do want you but it's more than I can come to right now
I'm not giving it up so we dance around the feelings
Till they finally hit the ceiling
I know that you know

I am dignified, I am going down
I-I-I am terrified
I am I am
I am dignified, I am going down
I-I-I am terrified
I-I-I'll be seeing you around, I guess... friend

Maybe I do want you but I'm lost along the way
Sleeping through the morning I can finally face the day
I don't know the answers to the questions in your eyes
I'm alone...
