if i must loose you to keep you

then hear my words and run away

aren't the arrows there beyond you

and aren't you leaving me today

you go slay your giants

but call me your jonathon

and promise you'll return to me

before the battle's done

you've been my friend forever

and forever has no end

but you're going on a journey

that i can't take my friend

so you go play sidhartha

but call me your govinda

and promise you'll return to me

before my chapter is done

as the story goes

i hear the words you used to say

they're not so clear anymore

you're not near anymore

and letters in boxes i have found

each with your name i threw away cause

i don't read them anymore

i don't need them anymore

it's not that i don't love you

at least the person that you used to be

but we're just strangers now

we've sailed our different seas

so you go slay your giants

but call me your jonathon

and promise you'll return to me

before the battle's done

promise you'll return to me

before my battles is done

you've been my friend forever
