lyrics

it's good to see my old friends doing well
the situations left behind, the seasons when they fell so far
you give up or you get up and you turn into who you are
and it's good to see my old friends doing well

it's good to see my old friends growing strong
they’re still the souls i love
but they have changed in ways it's almost hard to speak of
their sentences are shorter, but their paragraphs are long
and it's good to see my old friends growing strong

all this time… all this time… all this time…
and still we're here
all this time… all his time
they knew me at my worst, i was broken, i was cursed
i almost didn't make it, but i did
they held me up and walked with me 'till i could walk again
and it's good to see my old friends doing well

it's good to see my old friends gotta go
we're always moving around
in the air and through the towns, it seems
if you stay around too long you just forget about your dreams
and it's good to see my old friends gotta go
and it's good to see my old friends growing strong
and it's good to see my old friends doing well
