Tall cup of friend

Verse 1
We don’t talk every day, yeah life runs fast
Miles between us, seasons pass
But every time I hit your line
You pick right up like you got time

Verse 2
Been through years, been through mess
Seen me at my worst, still never left
Don’t gotta explain, you just know
How the hell I feel before I show

Chorus
You’re a tall cup of friend when my glass runs low
Poured out steady when the nights get cold
Don’t see you much but you’re always there
Like a seat at the table, an extra chair
Yeah the world spins loud, but in the end
I can always count on a tall cup of friend

Verse 3
We pick up right where we left off
Same old jokes, same dumb laughs
Time don’t change the kind of bond
That’s built on truth and holding on

Pre-Chorus
You don’t need the spotlight
Don’t need praise
Just show up in the quiet ways

Chorus
You’re a tall cup of friend when my glass runs low
Poured out steady when the nights get cold
Don’t see you much but you’re always there
Like a beat-up jacket, still fits just right
Yeah life gets thin, but it don’t end
As long as I got a tall cup of friend

Bridge
Some folks fade like photographs
Some burn out way too fast
But you’re the kind that time can’t bend
A slow, strong pour that never ends

(soft breakdown)
No questions asked
No keeping score
Just open arms and an open door

Final Chorus
You’re a tall cup of friend, brim to the top
When the world says quit, you say “don’t stop”
We don’t hang much, but I understand
You’re still right here, right where you’ve been
Yeah when I’m empty, I know where to end
With a tall cup of friend

Outro
So here’s to the ones who don’t need a call
To show up strong, to never fall
Just knowing you’re there till the end
Is a tall cup… of friend 

a warm, acoustic, happy song with that easy porch-light feeling
