A Family

from Above the Water by Elk City

lyrics

Are we at it again -can you tell me- can we still be friends?
Maybe once in a while we can be somethin’
Maybe we can make each other smile for a while

Being alone is the best drug – It is the best way to be
Being alone is the best drug
Oh….
Under those stolen glances, breaking and burning chances (and)

Oh, we can take the best moments we had
Make our mistakes and make each other glad
That we were a family
And being together is the best way to be

Oh, we can raise each other up
Or put some golden dust in each other’s cups
But we cannot be and we cannot grow with each other if we show (ah)
Being alone is the best way, Being alone is the best way

Oh, we can take the best days that we had
Make our mistakes and make each other glad
That we were a family
And being together is the best way to be

Oh, we can raise each other up
Or put some golden dust in each other’s cups
Maybe can we be a family
But we do know, well we’re learning how, and we’re older now
