I want for you to tell me
how far that we have traveled
point out the faces passing by.
'Some will not be familiar
some have passed on with time
but you're the one that saved my life.
I wrote you this
though I'm so tired.
I know that I'll see you again.
I'm holding on
for these last miles.
This road is coming to an end.

Tonight
meet me there
tonight
where you found me.
At the end of the road.
Tonight
meet me there
tonight
I want you by me
because I can't go alone

I hoped that you'd Stay with me
in places marked with shadow.
I tried so hard, but couldn't hide.
I hoped that you'd remember
my name even when I lied
and walk back with me to the light.
I wrote you this.
And I'm so sorry!
I know I failed the first time.
Please come again,
stay for the journey.
I need you here to say goodbye.

Tonight
meet me there
tonight
where you found me
when I spoke the first time.
tonight
meet me there
tonight
I want you by me
when I say goodbye.
Lyrics to a song I wrote for a friend who stayed by my side when I relapsed into my addiction.
