How it Should Be

story behind the song

Hey, friend, it's been awhile,
But it's great to see your smile.
I've missed our inside jokes
And all our crazy hopes.

It's such a great way
To spend a couple of days:
Hanging out with my friend,
I wish this fun would never end.

You're the one that I can call
In the middle of the night,
When my world is crashing down
You can make it seem alright
For awhile.

Through the best and through the worst days,
You know that I am there for you.
When you're down I am your lifeline,
You know I'll do anything to
Make you smile.

It seems like a year
Since I last came here.
With as long as I've been gone,
I feel like I've come home.

All I wanna do
Is just spend some time with you,
'Cause we are closer than twins,
Even though we're just friends.

You're the one that I can call
In the middle of the night,
When my world is crashing down
You can make it seem alright
For awhile.

Through the best and through the worst days,
You know that I am there for you.
When you're down I am your lifeline,
You know I'll do anything to
Make you smile.

Through good and bad you're my best friend,
You're always honest with me.
I never want this to end
'Cause this is how it should be.

You're the one that I can call
In the middle of the night,
When my world is crashing down
You can make it seem alright
For awhile.

Through the best and through the worst days,
You know that I am there for you.
When you're down I am your lifeline,
You know I'll do anything to
Make you smile.

I'm here for you,
You're here for me.
This is how
It should be.
