Good memories of time gone by 

Sweet friendships that never die 

Will always be there when you grow tired 

Don't swim against the currect 

Because your arms will grow tired 

Just float there and let the water pass the time 



Cus' you never know what life throws at you 

So don't tell me that you know the secret 

Cus' you don't know me and I don't know you 

Yeah, I'll tell you when I get there 

And if I knew, I'd be lying too 



Well preachers preach and liars lie 

Burglars steal and smokers get high 

They're not better or worse than you or I 

Ya don't swim against the current 

Because your arms will grow tired 

Just float there and let the water pass the time 



Cus' you never know what life throws at you 

So don't tell me that you know the secret 

Cus' you don't know me and I don't know you 

Yeah, I'll tell you when I get there 

And if I knew, well I'd be lying too 



And don't give up on anything 

Cus' I need you around here for a while 

And don't give in to anything 

Just forget about it out and smile 



It's been two years since he's gone 

I write these words 

I sing this song 

Some preacher says he knows what's going on 



Cus' you never know what life throws at you 

Yea don't tell me that you know some secret 

Cus' you don't know me and I don't know you 

Yeah, I'll tell you when I get there 

Well if I knew, I'd be lying too 

I'd be lying too 

I'd be lying too 

I'd be lying
