Best Mate

Well the first time i remember walking home from school
You jumped the fence on dolphin road and i followed you
We tried our first contraband under the tires in that playgroundWe rode our bikes and got crazy picked up our guitars til our fingers bled

Every time i think back, makes me feel so alive

You′re my best mate
I'll always appreciate
Even when the lines are straight

Then we went off to college
You to the west me to the east
And you met your future wife on valentines day in ′89
When my father passed you were the first one to call
Everybody was spread out so damn wide it was easy to drop the ball

Every time i think back, makes me feel so alive

You're my best mate
I'll always appreciate
Even when the lines are straight
Well i know it sounds corny
I′d dive in the mud for you
You′ll always be my best mate yeah

One of the darkest days i remember April 30, 2010
I never did get that call you promised me back then

You're my best mate
I′ll always appreciate
Even when the lines are straight
Well i know it sounds corny
I'd dive in the mud for you
You′ll always be my best mate yeah
I dont know what else to say
Yeah we talked almost every day
Sometimes i dont know what to do without you
