We’ve Been Best Friends Since We Were Seven Years Old, ,
So Many Stories From The Past And So Many Yet To Be Told.
I Remember Always Breaking Things When We Were Caught Up In A Game, ,
We’d Put An Innocent Smile On Our Faces So Our Brothers Would Get The Blame.
We Stole Someone’s Boat Off The Beach One Day When We Were About 10, ,
We Drifted Out To Sea And Freaked, We Decided Never To Do That Again.
When We Went To Bali We Ran Wild And Had So Much Fun, ,
We Thought We Were Awesome Getting Our Hair And Nails Done.
We Used To Make Cubby Houses And Ride On Motor Bikes With The Boys, ,
But We Still Made Time For Dancing, Singing And Playing With Our Girlie Toys.
I Remember Being Able To Have Fun With Just The Rocks On The Beach, ,
With Our Crazy Imaginations Nothing Seemed Out Of Reach.
We Got A Little Older And Gave Up The Barbie Dolls And Toys, ,
But We Were Still Nowhere Near Interested In Make Up Or Boys.
The First Time We Ever Got Drunk Was A Great Memory Too, ,
We Were Only About 12 Years Old And Didn’t Have A Clue.
We Drank Bourbon And Vodka Basically Anything We Could Find, ,
We Dressed Up, Danced On The Kitchen Bench And Got Totally Blind.
At The End Of It We Climbed Up On The Roof In Time To See The Sun, ,
Nothing In Our Childhood Quite Compared To That Night Of Fun.
Oh Did We Think We Would Cop It From Our Mothers The Next Day, ,
But Apparently Being Sick All Morning Was A Big Enough Price To Pay.
I Look Back On All The Things We Did And It Always Makes Me Smile, ,
We Definitely Did Everything To Make Our Childhood Worthwhile.
Once We Were So Young And Sweet But That Was In Primary School, ,
Now We’re All Grown Up And Not Afraid To Break Every Rule.
It’ll Always Be Good To Look Back And Know That Yooh Were There, ,
And Also To Look Forward To All The Memories We Have Yet To Share.
