When times tend to change
You don't want them to be different
But who are you to say
What can and cannot change
A tough situation you cannot avoid
When tides turn against you and all you have is your friend
A silent friend who speaks no words
It's up to you to speak those words
Words you need to save the world
Only a world that circles around your head
You need compromise
You don't need a plan
You have your plan that you need to carry out
A plan to save your hide
Say those words to save yourself
You only need one glance
Look to your left and take a quick nod
And when you receive that nod back
You know
You know you got your silent agreement
From your quiet quiet friend
And when those words slip out of your mouth
You know you can walk away free
And when you do
And your plan is carried out
You run to let your tensed up legs relax
You got out unscratched and prideful
Prideful of your silent lie
That came from your silent agreement
From your quiet and silent friend
You just lied yourself out of staying past your curfew.
