The People I Know Lyrics - Moving Up Living Down - Eric Hutchinson

I've got a best friend who I've known some time 

And after all of these years I've got to read his mind 

And when he leaves the room I can feel him sigh 

As his thoughts they slip out like whispers 

Who would've know it'd be this hard to wait 

For one person to person to communicate 

And it never feels dramatic while we complicate 

Thank god for old friends they always forgive us 

I'm longing for the house remembering all these days 

Never done enough, everything feels great 

If I am not myself, then who am I pretending to be 

And I said how am I gonna get by 

Without the help of the people I know 

For better or worse we all come together 

And they won't let me die alone 

I said they won't let me die alone 

And I've got a sister who I barely see 

Despite the fact the lives right up the block from me 

And when we run into each other on the street 

It's like two strangers soul to soul 

When I was younger she was younger too 

It seems the space is the only thing that really grew 

And now we're both grown up and still without a clue 

Thank god for family they always forgive us 

I'm thinking of the house where we were always raised 

In every family tree some history remains 

If I am not myself, then who am I pretending to be 

And I said how am I gonna get by 

Without the help of the people I know 

For better or worse we all come together 

And they won't let me die alone 

I said they won't let me die alone 

Maybe I'm not supposed to be close 

To all of the people I need the most, need the most 

And I said how am I gonna get by 

Without the help of the people I know 

For better or worse we all come together 

And they won't let me die alone 

I said now how am I gonna get by 

When I'm afraid of the people I know 

For better or worse we all come together 

And they won't let me die alone 

I said they won't let me die alone 

I said they won't let me die alone 

I said they won't let me die alone
