Love Song for a Best Friend

It was the summer of our discontent Lost in the longings of our own tormented minds Trying to save each other, pay the rent Oh all the things we never said We hid our failures under painted nails With homemade cookies and bad tv–modern fairytale Wanting at once to hold and to be held A place to keep each other warm I'll plant you a garden I'll show you the sun You'll always remind me I'm not the only one Our goodness measured by the other's eyes We loved each other more than we could love ourselves Two clumsy children with a holy prize So terrified to let it go I'll plant you a garden I'll show you the sun You'll always remind me I'm not the only one We learned long ago there's no guarantee We've said goodbyes, we've loved and lied, we've gone to the sea We've drifted, turned around, refused to leave The greatest story ever told I'll plant you a garden I'll show you the sun You'll always remind me I'm not the only one I'm not the only one I'm not the only one I'm not the only one
