Backwards Down The Number Line

Happy, happy, oh my friend
 Blow out candles once again
 Leave the presents all inside
 Take my hand
 And let's take a ride
 Backwards down the number line
 You were eight and I was nine
 Do you know what happened then?
 Do you know why we're still friends?
 Laughing all these many years
 We've pushed through hardships, tasted tears
 Made a promise one to keep
 I can still recite it in my sleep
 Every time a birthday comes
 Call your friend and sing a song
 Or whisper it in to his ears
 Or write it down, just don't miss a year
 You decide what it contains
 How long it goes but this remains
 The only rule is it begins
 Happy, happy, oh my friend
 You decide what it contains
 How long it goes but this remains
 The only rule is it begins
 Happy, happy, oh my friend
 You decide what it contains (All my friends)
 How long it goes but this remains (Going backwards down the number line)
 The only rule is it begins (All my friends)
 Happy, happy, oh my friend (Going backwards down the number line)
 You decide what it contains (All my friends)
 How long it goes but this remains (Going backwards down the number line)
 The only rule is it begins (All my friends)
 And when I see you coming down the line with eyes wide open
 Somewhere in between the passing future where you drift in time
 And you can see a different point of view
 You decide what it contains
 How long it goes but this remains
 The only rule is it begins
 Happy, happy, oh my friend
 You decide what it contains (All my friends)
 How long it goes but this remains (Going backwards down the number line)
 The only rule is it begins (All my friends)
 Happy, happy, oh my friend (Going backwards down the number line)
 You decide what it contains (All my friends)
 How long it goes but this remains (Going backwards down the number line)
 The only rule is it begins (All my friends)
 Happy, happy, oh my friend (Going backwards down the number line)
 You decide what it contains (All my friends)
 How long it goes but this remains (Going backwards down the number line)
 The only rule is it begins (All my friends)
 Happy, happy, oh my friend (Going backwards down the number line)
 You decide what it contains (All my friends)
 How long it goes but this remains (Going backwards down the number line)
 The only rule is it begins (All my friends)
 Happy, happy, oh my friend (Going backwards down the number line)
 You decide what it contains (All my friends)
 How long it goes but this remains (Going backwards down the number line)
 The only rule is it begins (All my friends)
