To Know Me

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 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 If you've ever seen fireworks lightin' up the sky Then you 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 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 If you've ever heard a bird sing in the middle of the night Then you know that heaven's waitin' 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 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 To know me, you would have to know my friend
