you know how friends are funny when, when we're just clowning around...
you know how friends get crazy when we can't stop messing around...
we always leave a seat open for you when we go out, out on this town...
we always drink a couple for you when we're all out... when we go out...

just think of us together whenever you're down...
are you okay...
are you alright...
do you count down the days like I count down the nights...
you know that I wait and I wait and I wait...

remember nights when our friends had to help carry us home...
remember times when we'd wake up in places we didn't know...
there was always a light on for us, always guiding us home... to help find our way home...

just think of us together whenever you're down...
are you alright...
are you okay...
they kept your room just the same as when you went away...
are you alright...
are you okay...
they kept the pictures of us before you went away...
just know that I wait and I wait and I wait...
just know that I hope and I pray you're okay...

    General Comment:I get the feeling that the song is about a person who ran away from home or, perhaps, someone who left town for college and never came back, even to visit. The runaway scenario seems to fit better.

    General Comment:yeah I sort of agree with that but I don't think the girl is in rehab she is just gone for awhile like a trip abroad for a period of time somewhere that the guy really can't communicate with her since she is gone for a while and he hopes that she comes home safe and their friends think of her and remeber the times they had before she left and just wait until she returns

    General Comment:i dunno this song is starting to remind me of a ex g/f in rehab or something. And she can't go back to the life she once had and he's still kind of waiting for her, hoping she'll come back home when it reality they all know she won't. i dunno kinda off the wall.
