| You’ve got an open heart
 | 
| So you share what’s inside
 | 
| Thinking that all is said in confidence
 | 
| But then you realize
 | 
| (Friendship is a small boat in a storm)
 | 
| The sun is getting heavy
 | 
| (Friendship is a small boat in a storm)
 | 
| The cold is breaking my heart
 | 
| (Friendship is a small boat in a storm)
 | 
| This boat is incredibly unsafe
 | 
| (Friendship is a small boat in a storm)
 | 
| It’s falling apart
 | 
| Now play your part
 | 
| You’re along for the ride
 | 
| Thinking that all is said in confidence
 | 
| Yeah you realize
 | 
| (Friendship is a small boat in a storm)
 | 
| Now I’m swimming in the sea
 | 
| (Friendship is a small boat in a storm)
 | 
| Floundering desperately
 | 
| (Friendship is a small boat in a storm)
 | 
| Tryin' to get a grip on my emotions
 | 
| (Friendship is a small boat in a storm)
 | 
| I’m falling apart
 | 
| Happy to know until the clouds start singing
 | 
| The wind is high and the waves scary
 | 
| Oh lord, only you know, I’ve had enough
 | 
| (Friendship is a small boat in a storm)
 | 
| My momma said don’t trust nobody
 | 
| (Friendship is a small boat in a storm)
 | 
| Cause they’ll stab you in the back and take your money
 | 
| (Friendship is a small boat in a storm)
 | 
| You live and you learn
 | 
| (Friendship is a small boat in a storm)
 | 
| If you wanna live, you better learn so you don’t burn
 | 
| (Friendship is a small boat in a storm)
 | 
| Yeah
 | 
| (Friendship is a small boat in a storm)
 | 
| Better start swimming, brother
 | 
| (Friendship is a small boat in a storm)
 | 
| Cause I’m drowning, I’m sinking brother
 | 
| (Friendship is a small boat in a storm)
 | 
| You live and you learn
 | 
| That friendship is a small boat in a storm |
