what we were about (derek)

when am I gonna lean on your shoulder again?
I gotta go but I don't want to leave you, my friend
Life pulls us along, it's go on or get out
rest assured we'll all meet again in the end
I just wanted to remind you
this is what we were about

[chorus]
cuz we ran together and never fell behind
I don't know how I'm going to leave you behind
cuz we were about life and we were about laughter
we were all about each other
doesn't that even matter?
how can it not matter that I'm running and you're running
somewhere else?

if we had a sound it'd be acoustic guitar,
progressions and power chords strumming down the years.
Tried to learn, I never did get very far
but right now I can't play for the tears
I just wanted to remind you,
this is what we were about

[chorus]
[chorus]

don't forget what we were about
cuz real friends aren't made, but found
I won't ever forget what we were about
but I just can't stick around...
