[Verse 1]

Darlin', does your head get heavy?

Do you get tired of searchin' for a shoulder to lean?

Oh, is your pain just temporary?

See, I think life's got a way of granting you what you need

Exactly what you need

And I understand my bias

I've lived a life been riddled with ease

But it doesn't, no, it don't make me a liar

It simply means that you don't have to listen to me

But why not listen to me?


[Chorus]

And if I'm honest, I'm scared too

Of death and loneliness

But hey, I'm just as scared as you

So joyful, I'm envious

With so much life to live


[Verse 2]

Darlin', are you food for the vultures?

The second half of someone else's favorite song?

Oh, did you know I dreamt you tall as a giant?

Do you have an idea of how you'll grow before long?

You will be grown before long


[Chorus]

And if I'm honest, I'm scared too

Of death and loneliness

But hey, I'm just as scared as you

So joyful, I'm envious

(Ah, no, no)


[Bridge]

Little one, so full of doubt

Won't you hear me out?

Don't wash me out (Don't wash me out)

Don't wash me out (Don't wash me out)

Like yesterday's old dirty clothes, don't wash me out

Don't wash me out (Don't wash me out)

Don't wash me out (Don't wash me out)

Like yesterday's old dirty clothes, don't wash me out

Don't wash me out (Don't wash me out)

Don't wash me out (Don't wash me out)

Like yesterday's old dirty clothes, don't wash me out (Don't wash me out)

Don't wash me out (Don't wash me out)

Don't wash me out (Don't wash me out)

I'm born too bright to fade away, don't wash me out

Don't wash me out

Don't wash me out

Don't wash me out


[Verse 3]

To my extended family and my new friends

I'd like to take this moment to welcome you in

I got this little part that I like to sing

If I'm lucky, I'll hear you singin' too


[Outro]

It goes

One more time for all my friends

One more time for all my friends

One more time for all my friends

One more time for all my friends (Uh)

One more time for all my friends

One more time for all my friends

One more time for all my friends
