Speaker A
And so I thought, maybe if I'd made a different call, maybe if I hadn't missed it all, maybe he'd be fine, maybe we'd unwind.
Speaker A
Maybe if I helped another soul, maybe if I helped you reach your goal, life could be that bright, I could sleep at night.
Speaker B
Athena, I don't know who your friend is, I don't know what he's like, but my time with you has been splendid, the best day of my life.
Speaker B
Cause I got in a fight and I didn't die, I've never felt strong before, you're my friend, I couldn't ask for more.
Speaker B
And so I think, maybe if life wasn't spent as planned, maybe it's time that you lend a hand, I don't think he'll mind, if not his friend, then mine.
Speaker A
You're a good kid.
Speaker B
Thanks.
