By the Way

hey man
just wanted to say
there's not much that i'd be
without a you that has no me
i think that someday you will see
you're the best that you could be
to me

by the way,
saw you the other day,
i know that i did something wrong
or else i'd never write this song

no no no
hey hey, it's really okay,
i can always just do better
spell out friendship to the letter
i just hope that you'll forget her
selfish me,
just the other day



hey girl
just wanted to say
not sure if you are good or bad
or if i should have ever had
the fruit tasting sweetly of sad
that seemed to make us both so glad
for you

by the way,
saw you the other day,
wanted to check in, stopped by
but you never said goodbye

no no no
hey hey, it's really okay,
i'd just rather see you more
i hardly get to anymore
make do with what i had before
i saw you
just the other day



hey bro
just wanted to say
i know that i have kinda failed
to keep you under my guard veiled
just please give me another chance
to rebuild your crippled stance
for us

by the way,
saw you the other day,
my love i wanted you to know
but you just decided to go

no no no
hey hey, it's really okay,
maybe you are just confused
or maybe you should have refused
the problems you could have defused
for us all
just the other day



hey sis
just wanted to say
i really want to solve your life
lose the hand that wields the knife
show you why you always give
rediscover why you live
for you

by the way,
saw you the other day,
raised my hand up to say hi
but you'd already said goodbye

no no no
hey hey, it's really okay,
story incomplete without you
though no one could ever doubt you
we just might have to reroute you
so worried
just the other day



hey man,
why are you
the only one who knew

hey girl,
can't you see
just what you do to me

hey bro,
don't you know
we miss you when you go

hey sis,
can't you feel
we love you all for real

by the way,
saw you the other day
friends i will always hold dear
don't know what i'd do if you weren't here.
