This is for Jeff and Larry Ray and Weston everyone who knows the pain of a friend moving away. Of quieter evenings. Of a little less laughter. Of things you once shared now being yours alone to enjoy and never in quite the fullness you enjoyed them with the friend you loved.

It'll Get Better
By Abbye West Pates and Matthew Clark
It's a hard road to walk
With no friends to come along
You wake up in the morning
There's nobody to call
There's quiet you're not used to
A reminder that you used to
Call 'em up on a Friday
Laugh the hours away
But it'll get better
It'll be fine
I know it sounds simple
But all you need is time
You won't forget it
Your heart won't let it
It'll get better
Better with Time
I heard a joke you would like
Had to laugh to myself
'Cause no joke's half as funny
Without you here to tell
When you left this town friend
You took a part of me
Like a runaway memory
I gotta squint to see
But it'll get better
It'll be fine
I know it sounds simple
But all you need is time
You won't forget it
Your heart won't let it
It'll get better
Better with Time
If I'm honest I'm afraid to move on
There's no friend quite like you
What I mean is I'm afraid that you'll move on, too...
I know it'll get better
I know it''ll be fine
You make it sound so simple
Guess I'll learn with time
I won't forget you
My heart won't let you
Go too far
No matter where you are
Oh, it'll get better
It'll get better
Better wtih time
It'll get better
Better with time
