I didn't believe all the things
 
 That i'd heard about you
 
 I couldn't believe all the things
 
 That i'd heard were true
 
  
  And then you took me for a ride
 
 I started on my downward slide
 
 You wouldn't believe all the measures
 
 That i've been through
 
 I should've believed
 
 All the things that i'd were true
  
 
 I put my coat as the time-bell rings
 
 I give a shiver as the day begins
  
 
 You put your spell on me
 
 And i can't shake you free
 
 So let's drink to absent friends
  
 
 My insides are crying out as i walk alone
 
 A body without a soul looking for a home
  
 
 Another hold in my expensive shoe
 
 Another shiver as the rain comes through
  
 
 You put your spell on me
 
 And i can't shake you free
 
 So let's drink to absent friends
 
 You put your spell on me
 
 And i can't shake you free
 
 So let's drink to absent friends
  
 
 Between the benches nd the swinging door
 
 I've walked that route a million
 
 Times or more
 
 So just remember, when you look away
 
 I climb a mountain every single day
  
 
 You put your spell on me
 
 And i can't shake you free
 
 So let's drink to absent friends
 
 You put your spell on me
 
 And i can't shake you free
 
 So let's drink to absent friends
