Album: Take This To Your Grave (2003)

License This Song 

• My heart ticks in beat with these kids that I grew up with
  Living like life's going out of style
  And you came to watch us play like a "Big shot talent"
  But at the end of the day you know
  Where we come from
  And where we call home
  
  Hey, Chris, you were our only friend
  And I know this is belated, we love you back
  
  They'll say it's not worth it
  We'll leave this town in ruins
  Living like life's going out of style
  And you came to watch us play like a "Big shot talent"
  But at the end of the day you know whoa oh
  Those busted lips we take back home
  
  Hey, Chris, you were our only friend
  And I know this is belated, but we love you back
  So, hey, Chris, you were our only friend
  And I know this is belated, but we love you back
  
  I know you would be there either way
  So glad it seems like these times will never fade
  I know you would be there either way (So I'll tell everyone how much this means to me)
  So glad it seems like these times will never fade (So I'll tell everyone I see)
  
  Hey, Chris, you were our only friend
  And I know this is belated, we love you back
  Hey, Chris, you were our only friend
  And I know this is belated, but we love you back
  
  I know you would be there either way
  So glad it seems like these times will never fade
  Hey, Chris, you were our only friend (I know you would be there either way)
  And I know this is belated, but we love you back (so glad it seems like these times will never fade) Writer/s: Andrew John Hurley, Joseph Mark Trohman, Patrick Martin Stump, Peter Lewis Wentz
