Love The One You're With - Mic Boyd, Classified

Well there’s a rose

In a fisted glove

And the eagle flies with the dove

And if you can’t be with the one you love

Come on, love the one you’re with

Love the one you’re with

All I can do is watch as friends move out west

Thinking to myself, wondering who goes next

Kinda makes me feel like every day I lose a step

I feel trapped and I gotta chew through the net

Now, life moves on, I ain’t getting any younger

My high school friends all marrying their lovers

My ex got a baby and she’s carrying another

While I’m still living with my mother, whatever

One by one we separate, yeah we seen better days

Had some great times and the memories never fade

But now it’s time to move on and get that new job

And be happy for the friends that found true love

But by losing some friends I think I gained some

You see, I remember where I really came from

And it’s the people that have been there from day one

It’s called family, can’t no one replace 'em (Thanks, son!)

I guess I been missing the meaning

It’s like I’ve been gone without ever leaving and now I finally see it

Disappeared for what seemed like ten light-years

Searching for love, but the whole time it’s been right here

If you’re down and confused

And you don’t remember who you’re back-talking to

Your concentration slips away

Because we’re drifting

So far away

Yo, I’ve been told your friends are the family you choose

The family you don’t appreciate until you lose

Excuse the attitude, I don’t mean to kill the mood

Fuck it, I’m doing Luke, you do what’s real for you

I been growing up, you can say I live and learn

My friends show me love and I give it in return

A lot of things changed, though, ever since I came home

Enfield isn’t all sunshine and rainbows

See, after high school I never would have called it

Who would have went broke and who woulda made a profit

Who would get a job and who woulda went to college

Who became the potheads and who’s the alcoholics

I never lost friends, I lost acquaintances

Time passes, it could cost a relationship

So don’t be wasting it, soon it could all just end

These are the good old days, there’s some more, take 'em in
