Did you hear the one about the friend of a a friend who tried to end it all
   At the last moment he picked up the phone and gave you a call
   You thought about letting it ring, but you answered after all
  
   And there you were, put on the spot at the end of the other line
  
   For questions that you never thought you'd ever have to answer to
   Who do you turn to when the ones you always turn to go and turn on you
   It leaves you in the dark, feeling for a switch to turn it on again
  
   There are no easy answers, the questions remain tough
   There's no shortcuts to easy street, no corners you can cut
   Can you cut this diamond in the rough
  
   And it's good to see you alive
   Sign your will to survive
   A look into your heart before it sees its final hour
   (Lived?) each day like there is no tomorrow
  
   Beyond this mess ahead there is a street so very hard to find
   Though I have (got?) to lay my head down at this dead end so many times
   And if we ever get to easy street, you can say with a smile
  
   I came just for the ride
