I didn't believe all the things
that I'd heard about you
I couldn't believe all the things
that I'd heard were true

and then you took me for a ride
I started on my downward slide
you wouldn't believe all the measures
that I've been through
I should've believed
all the things that I'd were true

I put my coat as the time-bell rings
I give a shiver as the day begins

you put your spell on me
and I can't shake you free
so let's drink to absent friends

my insides are crying out as I walk alone
a body without a soul looking for a home

another hold in my expensive shoe
another shiver as the rain comes through

you put your spell on me
and I can't shake you free
so let's drink to absent friends
you put your spell on me
and I can't shake you free
so let's drink to absent friends

between the benches nd the swinging door
I've walked that route a million
times or more
so just remember, when you look away
I climb a mountain every single day

you put your spell on me
and I can't shake you free
so let's drink to absent friends
you put your spell on me
and I can't shake you free
so let's drink to absent friends
