Stick Figures Lyrics

We were friends when we were young

Before we knew what young was

Slacking off at every chance

Or maybe that was just me

School desk neighbors

We'd pass a paper between us

Of stick figures fighting to the death

We were friends when we were young

Before we knew what young was

Drawing pictures at every chance

Of stick figures fighting to the death

Of stick figures fighting to the death

I was just another wave

In your ocean of friends

And I felt that you were just another in mine

Every drawing we did back then

We'd throw away

To make room for the next

You once told me that you cheated on your homework

And I laughed, because I didn't do mine

We were friends when we were young

Before we knew what young was

Drawing pictures at every chance

Of stick figures fighting to the death

Stick figures fighting to the death

I always wondered how we'd grow up

With our messy ways of getting through life

Then one day, when I was sick in bed

I got a message telling me you were gone

I stared at my empty reply

I can't remember what finally I said

Some days I'm ungrateful

For how lucky I am

I think of you

And you put me in my place

We were friends when we were young

Before we knew what young was

Drawing pictures at every chance

Of stick figures fighting to the death

Stick figures fighting to the death

Oceans empty without that wave

Oceans empty without that wave
