Betsy

I took a step to find a way
I look around to find me a place
you're sitting at the second desk
bet the first is where you're supposed to be

you're running like the trains throughout this town
but I know I'll always have you here around
above ground

I smile through the pain and you made it happen
how could I ever leave your side
you'll be my baby
best friends forever
something we keep between us
I know someday I'll be really fine
cause Betsy said I'll be alright

they laugh at me but you don't care
I know you're wiser than the oldest men
you're far away you're anywhere
but when I need you I know you're always there

I've lost a lot of pages to the flames
been defined by all the broken names
yours the one
that I keep

You're the friend that I needed the soul that I'm missing
you're like the rain on a barren land
And I still remember
we met in september
we don't have to play pretend
and I know I had a lot of friends
but Betsy's the best I ever had
