I wish I knew just what to say,

to my best friends to take the pain away.

But I'm clueless and lost in the darkness,

trapped by my own pain and confusion.

I try to help them past their problems,

I give them all the advice I can.

Sometimes it's just not enough,

it's all I can give though.

We're too far apart for me to do more,

otherwise I'd be with them day and night.

I'd be able to really hold them and give comfort,

instead of mental comfort across all the miles.

Because it's just not enough to give,

I want to give more, I need to give more.

I need time to speed up please,

let me be eighteen already.

Then I could drop everything,

fly to their side and hold them.

But time doesn't work that way,

I'm still only seventeen.

Stuck here far from everyone I need and love,

far away from my best friends.
