Intro (spoken)

Crystal… this is what happens when a shy-ish guy says yes to saying hello.

This is a song about my best friend… this one’s for you.

Verse 1

It all started at preschool drop-off

Morning light, I was quiet, closed off

You said hello, I wanted to say no

But one step in your aura and I couldn’t let go

I can be introverted, stay in my own lane

But you walked in like sunshine and changed the game

I didn’t know it then, but I know it now

Some people change your life somehow

Build

Good friends are hard to come by

Great friends are harder still

But I’m the luckiest person alive

Because I know you, and always will

Chorus

Better for knowing you

Better for knowing you

This whole world is lucky too

But not like I am knowing you

You lift me higher than I am

Stronger than I knew I could be

I’m a better man than I was

Just because you’re next to me

Verse 2

You’re a diva in the best way

Strong and confident every day

Always so hot, but it’s more than that

Your mind and your kindness, all that you have

You’ve got your fam and I’ve got mine

Different lives but side by side

Raising our kids, laughing loud

Turning ordinary days into magic somehow

I call you “wifey,” our kids laugh at that

Don’t get it twisted, I like men, that’s fact

But you’re my person, my chosen crew

And life makes more sense standing next to you

When something’s wild or slightly off

You just smile and say “Nope,” then we laugh it off

And that laugh, yeah everybody knows

It spreads like fire everywhere it goes

Build

You’re my inner circle, ride or die

The one who knows where the bodies lie

The one who sees me, flaws and all

And somehow makes me stand up tall

Chorus

Better for knowing you

Better for knowing you

This whole world is lucky too

But not like I am knowing you

You lift me higher than I am

Stronger than I knew I could be

I’m a better man than I was

Just because you’re next to me

Bridge 1

Remember that hike out on the island trail

Thought supposed 2 b silent, calm, of myself

Meditation walk, no words to say

I thought that was the plan that day

You wondered what was going on

Why I hadn’t talked so long

Then you laughed and finally said

“Well… I guess we’re doing this instead.”

And I still laugh thinking bout you that day, free no worries, wish we could go stay…

Bridge 2

We came to a Y in the road one day

Different paths, different ways

For a while it felt like we were far apart

But you never left my heart

I know those roads will meet again

Somewhere around the bend

So we keep walking, step by step

Toward the days we haven’t lived yet

I don’t worry, I don’t doubt

Somehow life will work it out

I’ll see you up ahead… I know I will

Final Chorus

Better for knowing you

Better for knowing you

I’m the luckiest person alive

Because I know you

Better for knowing you

Better for knowing you

This whole world is lucky too

But not like I am knowing you

(Background chant: Lucky… lucky me… lucky… lucky me…)
