Friends Lyrics by Johnathan Rice

The Long Game

2019

[Verse 1]
Goodbye old friend, the worst is over
The fury's faded and the fighting's done
We reached the end, found it together
Now and forever, this song is sung
You were almost the end of me
But I learned to breathe under the sea
Now I watch the waves from down below
And I wish them well before they go
My wish for you is just the same
Though I'll never crash your shore again

[Chorus]
Good journey, safe travels to you
Weather each storm passing through
And may only your ocean be blue

[Verse 2]
Hello new friend, your eyes a mystery
No painful history, just wonders to behold
Your kindness to me feels sweet and foreign
Your heart imploring mine to come in from the cold
But be forewarned, friend, there's a hurt inside me
And it comes out swinging when held up to the light
I won't pretend I'm something perfect
I've destroyed some precious things I so wanted to make right

[Chorus]
Good journey, safe travels to you
Weather each storm passing through
And may only your ocean
May only your ocean be blue
