Couplet 1

To know why I cry
Every time I see a sunset
To know why I smile
At all the things I can't forget
To know why my heart
May take a while to mend
To know me
You would have to know my friend

Couplet 2

I can't help but dream
When I hear a train comin'
I can't help but laugh
When I lose my keys again
If you had to count
My quirks there'd be a dozen
To know me
You would have to know my friend

Refrain 1

If you've ever seen fireworks
Lightin' up the sky
Then you'd know how quickly time goes
In the blink of an eye
Oh and there's a hidden treasure
You'll take away with you
If you've ever loved someone
And they had to leave too soon

Couplet 3

To know what I'd trade
For one more day to have 'em
To know what it takes
To live my life without them
I could tell you all the details
Of who I am but then again
To know me
You would have to know my friend

Refrain 2

If you've ever heard a bird sing
In the middle of the night
Then you'd know that heaven's waiting
To take you by surprise
Oh and the more you love somebody
The more you have to lose
But when they leave this world
They leave their fingerprints on you

Couplet 4

To know why I keep
On pushin' past the limit
To know why I live
Every day like it's the end
To know why I'm grateful
Every single minute
To know me
You would have to know my friend
