here’s to the ones that you can laugh with
the same ones you ugly cry with
here’s the ones you go to war with  
and go to war for

here’s to the ones that know your secrets
but they don’t see you any different
here’s to the ones who just sit and listen
and don’t try to fix it

the highs are a little bit higher
the lows make a little more sense
when you got someone in your corner
that you know you can live it with
life is complicated and our pride says  
we can make it on our own
but the truth is simple, we need people

here’s to the roots that sorrow deepens
and the bloom that joy has opened
here’s to the years of steady walking
and miles that are coming

it’s not always easy
it can get messy  
it’s hard but I’m learning
it’s necessary  
if you want to grow then  
you can’t go it alone friend
you got to open the door and
let someone in
