Lyrics
True friends stab you in the front
True friends betray you openly rather than behind your back.
Keep you from getting what you want
They prevent you from obtaining what you desire.
When one more fix could kill you
Despite the danger, the desire for another fix persists.
They help you realize that
These friends help you recognize the dangers you face.
You're more and less than you first had believed
Realizing one's identity is more complex than initially believed.
You've so much to give and there's so much you need
You have a lot to offer, yet there are many things you lack.
Shortcuts through graveyards and a brand new way to breathe
There are risky shortcuts and a new way to approach life.
Three thousand miles just to learn,
A long journey taken to learn.
All that's gold does not all shine
Not everything valuable appears remarkable.
And helping words aren't always kind,
Well-intentioned advice might not be gentle.
When one more kiss could kill you,
Despite the risk, the desire for another kiss remains.
They help you realize that
These friends make you aware of the risks you face.
You're more and less than you first had believed
Understanding oneself involves realizing complexity.
You've so much to give and there's so much you need
You have much to offer, yet much is lacking.
Shortcuts through graveyards and a brand new way to breathe
There are risky shortcuts and a new way of living.
Three thousand miles just to learn.
A journey covering a vast distance to acquire knowledge.
How to let my guard down
Learning to be vulnerable and less defensive.
Accept the fire that has spread among us.
To acknowledge and embrace a spreading conflict or challenge.
And if you're feeling all right,
If you're feeling okay or content,
You've got to play it again,
You must replay or revisit the situation.
You've got to play it again.
Repetition of the need to revisit or reassess a situation.
