[Verse 1]
I might not say what I have
In the back of my mind
But you always seem to know
You can see right through me
You always get right to me
Even if I might not let it show

[Verse 2]
I can't recall all the times
That I held out my hand
And you held out your hand, too
Never did you doubt me
You knew all about me
And you found a way to pull me through

[Chorus]
When the road I'm running doesn't end
And nothing's waiting 'round the bend
I pick up my pace and then I pretend
I'm goin' home to see my friend (Alright, yeah)

[Verse 3]
Mmm, took me a long time to learn
I'm glad you waited around
Sometimes I take a while to see
I'm better because of you
I hope you know I love you
'Cause I know how much that you love me
[Chorus]
When the road I'm running doesn't end
And nothing's waiting 'round the bend for me
I pick up my pace and then I pretend
I'm goin' home to see my friend

[Bridge]
Like the blood I bleed
That's a friend indeed
It's a church on the horizon
Or a soldier who
Knows the war is through
It's the shoulder that he cries on

[Chorus]
When the road I'm running doesn't end
(It's a never-ending road)
And nothing's waiting 'round the bend
(There's nothing waiting there for me)
I pick up my pace and then I pretend
(I making believe that I'm going home)
I'm goin' home to see my friend (Oh, oh, woah)
I'm goin' home to see my friend (Going home to see)
I'm goin' home to see my friend
