The People I Know

I've got a best friend who I've known some time
 And after all of these years I've got to read his mind
 And when he leaves the room I can feel him sigh
 As his thoughts they slip out like whispers
 Who would've know it'd be this hard to wait
 For one person to person to communicate
 And it never feels dramatic while we complicate
 Thank god for old friends they always forgive us
 I'm longing for the house remembering all these days
 Never done enough, everything feels great
 If I am not myself, then who am I pretending to be
 And I said how am I gonna get by
 Without the help of the people I know
 For better or worse we all come together
 And they won't let me die alone
 I said they won't let me die alone
 And I've got a sister who I barely see
 Despite the fact the lives right up the block from me
 And when we run into each other on the street
 It's like two strangers soul to soul
 When I was younger she was younger too
 It seems the space is the only thing that really grew
 And now we're both grown up and still without a clue
 Thank god for family they always forgive us
 I'm thinking of the house where we were always raised
 In every family tree some history remains
 If I am not myself, then who am I pretending to be
 And I said how am I gonna get by
 Without the help of the people I know
 For better or worse we all come together
 And they won't let me die alone
 I said they won't let me die alone
 Maybe I'm not supposed to be close
 To all of the people I need the most, need the most
 And I said how am I gonna get by
 Without the help of the people I know
 For better or worse we all come together
 And they won't let me die alone
 I said now how am I gonna get by
 When I'm afraid of the people I know
 For better or worse we all come together
 And they won't let me die alone
 I said they won't let me die alone
 I said they won't let me die alone
 I said they won't let me die alone
