One man— two dreams
Mine, to feel alive
And his, to see everything
He says, [bad word] along with me”
I fall into his world
Of impossible things

Through time and space
The universe reflected in his face
He gives me the stars
And with them, we can be raggedy with bleeding hearts

He is my best friend
He is the best of men

One word: reckless
He’s got a taste for adventure
That leaves me breathless
But he moves so fast
I am losing steam
I don’t know how long I can last

Through time and space
It’s dangerous to keep his pace
He’s fearless, but I’m on guard
I’ve lost things, and I can’t
Make him another scar

But he is my best friend
He is the best of men
He’ll be my guardian (oh-oh, because)
He is the best of men

But I am lost, and suddenly
Doubt creeps up on me
Maybe I’ve got to grow up, move on
After all, he was just a story in my head
And I swore I’d never touch it again
But it would be so hard after so long

I have put my [bad word] in him (I think it’s time)
He’ll follow me to whatever end (his or mine)   
Just one more glance, my raggedy friend (oh-oh, please know)
Please think of me just now and then

You are my best friend
You can’t know how much you’ve meant (don’t you forget)
You’ll always be the best of men.
