[Verse 1: MandoPony]
Hop off a train
Into a new town
It's exactly what I needed
I can't explain
What I have found
But it's exactly where
I long to be

I'm in charge now
But I don't know how
The stars must have aligned
All these friendly faces
Erase any traces
Of worry from my mind

So it's time I turned over
A new leaf...

[Chorus: Emily Jones]
And if you say
That you're really here to stay
I can do my best to play my part
And give you the start you need
To succeed
And if you're unsure
I will be the cure
I will be here on the job
Waiting for you, loyal and true
Cause that's what friends do!

[Verse 2: MandoPony]

Now I know that
I'm bound to roam
Even though it pains me to leave this home
I gotta catch 'em all
And slide between worlds
I gotta smash my foes
And see the dreams of two plumbers unfurl

There's more to life
Than catching fish from the seas
I'm tired of weeds and getting
Stung by bees, so it's
Time to leave the mayor's chair
The truth really is I can't always be there

So it's time I turned over
A new leaf...
[Chorus: Emily Jones]
I hope you'll say
That you're coming back some day
I will do my best to fill your voidMe and Lloyd will try to scrape by

And if you're so sure
That you'll be fine alone
Then I will be too, waiting for you
Loyal and true
Cause that's what friends should do...

[Bridge: MandoPony and *Emily Jones*]
I've been away for so long
*I wonder where he's gone*
I wonder what they're *he's* doing right now
And now I find
*That you're on my mind*
So it's time I turned over
A new leaf...

[Chorus: MandoPony and *Emily Jones*]
I hope you'll say
That you're finally here to stay
*I'm finally here to stay!*
I'm so glad you're back in our little town
Without you around, nothing's been the same
But it's fine!
I always knew I'd *hoped you'd* change my *your* mind
Because I *you* knew I was waiting for you
Loyal and true...
That's what friends do!

[Outro: MandoPony and Emily Jones]
It's what we do!
That's what friends do!
