Backwards Down The Number Line Songtext / Lyric

Happy, happy, oh my friend

Blow out candles once again

Leave the presents all inside

Take my hand and let's take a ride



Backwards down the number line

You were eight and I was nine

Do you know what happened then?

Do you know why we're still friends?



Laughing all these many years

We've pushed through hardships, tasted tears

Made a promise one to keep

I can still recite it in my sleep



Every time a birthday comes

Call your friend and sing a song

Or whisper it in to his ears

Or write it down, just don't miss a year






You decide what it contains

How long it goes but this remains

The only rule is it begins

Happy, happy, oh my friend



You decide what it contains

How long it goes but this remains

The only rule is it begins

Happy, happy, oh my friend



You decide what it contains

How long it goes but this remains

The only rule is it begins

Happy, happy, oh my friend



You decide what it contains

How long it goes but this remains

The only rule is it begins



And when I see you coming down the line with eyes wide open

Somewhere in between the passing future where you drift in time

And you can see a different point of view



You decide what it contains

How long it goes but this remains

The only rule is it begins

Happy, happy, oh my friend



You decide what it contains

How long it goes but this remains

The only rule is it begins

Happy, happy, oh my friend



You decide what it contains

How long it goes but this remains

The only rule is it begins

Happy, happy, oh my friend



You decide what it contains

How long it goes but this remains

The only rule is it begins

Happy, happy, oh my friend



You decide what it contains

How long it goes but this remains

The only rule is it begins

Happy, happy, oh my friend



You decide what it contains

How long it goes but this remains

The only rule is it begins
