When I think about the end
I think you are my only friend
When I think about this life
I think this is my only life
When I think about this world
I think this is my only world

We grew up in a Southern town
What was up was really down
What I found was really found
I think I met you underground

I think about when I was born
How she lost her eyes to see
They were prayin' hard to me
And I was born into belief
I was born not to see

Oh but I do
And I believe
That she was holdin' on for me

Livin' in a foreign land
Have you lost your eyes to see
Or have you found the garden tree
Well, if I stayed within your tree
I don't know who I would be

Now my only friend
Do these good times ever end
When you're livin' in this town?
That's why I tried to move away
Now I see it upside down

You don't know what you have found
Until you find what you have known
I see your colors and they glow
I see your colors and I know
I just want to stand close

Now my only light
Shine a little more my way
I'm growin' older every day
And I can't say what I should say
I can't mean what I should mean
What I see I do not see
What I mean to say
I cannot say
But I'mma try it anyway

Maybe I was born not to see
So how can I not believe?
When my mother lost her eyes for me
And yet she loved what I would be
I know not what I would be
But I love what I can't see

And if it all just goes away
And if it all decides to stay
I believe my body ends
And I believe you are my friend
Until then, until then
My only friend
I take each day as it will end
