Story behind the song
I actually nicked the title of this song from the thankyou credits on my friend Paul Reilly's EP - "Nothing to Shout About" it said something like "thankyou to everyone and anyone - to every best friend I've made" I guess at the time part of me was in love with that idea and I wanted to write something about my friends and how I felt about them. Soemone said that "friends are the family you choose for yourself" and I couldn't agree more with that statement.
Lyrics
Lying on my back
Looking up toward the sky
I wonder what I'm doing here
I wonder why I try
Wonder if I was wrong
Wonder if you were right
Wonder if that's why I'm lying alone
Underneath this starry night
Take hold of my hand
and ask me if I'm alright
Lay me down under the moon
and hold me close and tight
I never asked you for anything
But everything you gave
I just wanna thankyou for all that you do
for every best friend I've made
every best friend I've made
Sometimes we'd ponder
trying to catch our dreams
to hear someone laugh
to hear someone cry
or something in between
It doesn't matter if we are failing
doesn't matter where we've been
and if despite all this we don't make it
I won't regret a single thing
Take hold of my hand
and ask me if I'm alright
Lay me down under the moon
and hold me close and tight
I never asked you for anything
But everything you gave
I just wanna thankyou for all that you do
for every best friend I've made
every best friend I've made
