End of May or early June This picture-perfect afternoon we shared Drive the winding country road Grab a scoop at À La Mode And then we're there An open field that's framed with trees We pick a spot and shoot the breeze Like buddies do Quoting songs by our favourite bands Telling jokes no one understands Except us two And we talk, and, take in the view All we see is sky, for forever We let the world pass by, for forever Feels like we could go on for forever, this way Two friends On a perfect day We walk awhile and talk about The things we'll do when we get out of school Bike the Appalachian trail, or Write a book, or learn to sail Wouldn't that be cool? There's nothing that we can't discuss Like girls, we wish would notice us but never do He looks around and says to me "There's nowhere else I'd rather be" And I say, "Me too" And we talk, and, take in the view We just talk, and, take in the view All we see is sky, for forever Let the world pass by, for forever Feels like we could go on for forever, this way, this way All we see is light, for forever 'Cause the sun shines bright, for forever Like we'll be alright for forever, this way Two friends On a perfect day And there he goes Racing toward the tallest tree From far across the yellow field I hear him calling, "Follow me" There we go, wondering how the world might look From up so high One foot after the other One branch then to another I climb higher and higher I climb 'til the entire sun Shines on my face And I suddenly feel the branch give way I'm on the ground My arm goes numb I look around And I see him come to get me He's come to get me And everything's okay All we see is sky, for forever We, let the world pass by, for forever Buddy you and I, for forever this way, this way All we see is light 'Cause the sun burns bright We could be alright for forever, this way Two friends True friends On a perfect day
