Anchor of Days

We started out with scraped-up knees

Laughing like the world was free

You were there when my days went wrong Turning every silence into

song On the bus ride home in the pouring rain You made

room for all my doubt and pain

We don't talk in perfect movie lines Still you read the hurt

between the signs

Any road gets lighter when we share the weight You were never

early, never late

So if the night comes down too hard

I already know where my people are

Right here,

right here

Friends like this make a house from the rain Turn the long

way home into a holiday

Hands in the dark,

and we still find the way

Friends like this, I will never break When I lose my voice,

you carry the phrase When the ground feels gone,

you call my name Nothing on earth could make me afraid

Friends like this,

friends like this We got older,

bills showed up on time Some dreams faded,

some began to climb Different jobs and different doors to walk through

Still I know exactly who to call to

You have seen the parts I tried to hide Sat beside me

when my hope ran dry Not because we had to prove a

thing Just because your heart made space for me

If the years pull us far from this street I will carry

your kindness with me And wherever this life takes us next You

are part of my best Friends like this make a house from

the rain Turn the long way home into a holiday Hands in

the dark, and we still find the way Friends like this,

I will never break When I lose my voice,

you carry the phrase When the ground feels gone,

you call my name Nothing on earth could make me afraid Friends

like this, friends like this (ooh) (ahh) Friends like this

Stay with me
