You forget about what you have
Until it all falls apart and you’re desperate
Like calling to God on your deathbed

The one who called every week
When I lost one of those most important
Even though I didn’t really listen

The one who took every call
Who never took a break from my breaking
And told me to keep my head

The one who I never laid eyes on
The stranger on the other end of the phone
Promising it will all be okay

The group of idiots crazy as me
Keeping the insane conversation going
Sometimes nothing is best said

My friends are proof positive
That I have an embarrassment of riches
I forgot that before and won’t again
