I see the shimmer in your eyes
I hear the teardrops hit the ground
And no matter the times that you cried,
I'd still crave to not hear that sound
And maybe see him again, the boy with open eyes who still wanted more friends in the dark and the wild
He had the perfect life
And smiled so bright he was gleaming
And he made it through the night
And wasn't afraid of dreaming
So maybe we could be friends sitting down by the river
Then maybe I could accept the boy in the mirror
'Round the aisles of the supermarket so big and wide like a maze
He could fly away on his rocket and be up in space for days
The brightest lights of New York shining on the stage
As he read his book he could turn the page
He was a strong little boy, didn't have to cry
And he wasn't afraid of the days that kept passin' him by, by
So maybe we could be friends sitting down by the river
Then maybe I could accept the boy in the mirror
'Round the aisles of the supermarket so big and wide like a maze
He could fly away on his rocket and be up in space for days
He was a strong little boy, didn't have to cry
And he wasn't afraid of the days that kept passin' him by, by, by, passin' him by
I imagine what could have been if I could see me now
You should just ask him around, sooner or later you'll find out
So maybe we could be friends sitting down by the river
And maybe I could accept the boy in the mirror
