Trey Anastasio - Backwards Down The Number Line lyrics
rate meHappy happy oh my friend<br />
Blow out candles once again<br />
Leave the presents all inside<br />
Take my hand and let's take a ride<br />
<br />
Backwards down the number line<br />
You were eight and I was nine<br />
Do you know what happened then<br />
Do you know why we're still friends<br />
<br />
Laughing all these many years<br />
We've pushed through hardships tasted tears<br />
We made a promise one to keep<br />
I can still recite it in my sleep<br />
<br />
Every time a birthday comes<br />
Call your friend and sing a song<br />
Or whisper it in to his ears<br />
Or write it down just don't miss a year<br />
<br />
You decide what it contains<br />
How long it goes<br />
But this remains<br />
The only rule is it begins<br />
Happy happy oh my friend<br />
<br />
You decide what it contains<br />
How long it goes<br />
But this remains<br />
The only rule is it begins<br />
<br />
And all my friends come<br />
Backwards down the number line<br />
<br />
All my friends come<br />
Backwards down the number line<br />
<br />
All my friends come<br />
Backwards down the number line<br />
<br />
All my friends<br />
<br />
You decide what it contains<br />
How long it goes<br />
But this remains<br />
The only rule is it begins<br />
Happy happy oh my friend<br />
<br />
You decide what it contains<br />
How long it goes<br />
But this remains<br />
The only rule is it begins<br />
<br />
And all my friends come<br />
Backwards down the number line<br />
<br />
All my friends come<br />
Backwards down the number line<br />
<br />
All my friends come<br />
Backwards down the number line<br />
<br />
All my friends<br />
<br />
And all my friends come<br />
Backwards down the number line<br />
<br />
All my friends come<br />
Backwards down the number line<br />
<br />
All my friends come<br />
Backwards down the number line<br />
<br />
All my friends
