Stay with me a little bit longer

Here's a little something for my precious friends who have made it easier to survive life in SRM

Strangers to friends we became

So close in such a small span of time
A silent promise that we will remain
Pillars for each other, partners in crime

Each of you gave a different meaning to my life
So many memories that I will cherish forever
You’ve stood by me through every little strife
Please stay with me a little bit longer

Valya and Sravanthi, my first friends in SRM
I can’t imagine surviving the hostel without you two

From mid-night maggies to late-night stories
Chicken pickle, food court noodles, kurkure and bhel puri mix
Singing, dancing, screaming, we would forget all our worries
And why shouldn’t we? There wasn’t anything we three couldn’t fix

You laughed at my clumsiness but you pampered me the most
You helped me grow, you made me stronger
I changed my room for you and I’d do it again for sure
If only you would stay with me a little bit longer

Shagun Batra, what do I say?
Your senseless talks always brightens my day

We make plans like we’d take over the world
But execute none of them anyway
Our laziness matches with our craziness, girl
I’d blindly count on you any day 

This bench is empty without you, kameeni dhinchak
Talking, sleeping, eating, fighting, there’s nothing we haven’t done during class
But you’ve helped me in ways, words aren’t enough to thank
Common enemies, non-stop chattering, there’s no extreme left for us to cross

Great minds think alike, so true when it comes to us
Clothes, shoes, songs and blogs, and all the depressing thoughts we weather
I’ll do more nautanki, take more pictures of you and pose too if I must
If it’ll make you stay with me a little bit longer

Nivedita Saily, my travel buddy
For all the discoveries we make about MTC

So many silly and crazy things we do
We always end up as the noisiest two
From dogs to kites, from friends to foes
We talk about everything that we know

My mornings would be so boring if not for you
Thanks to all the chapad chapad we do,
I don’t mind getting scoldings from all kind of strangers
As long as you stay with me a little bit longer

My favourite victim, Aamir, Tinman, Timbaktu
There’s an endless list of the names I’ve kept for you

I’ve never met a more complicated person
Or anyone who lives with so much curiosity
I’ve tortured you so much without any reason
But you never, ever gave up on me

All those fights, with you, for you, each day
Moments I’ve wanted to strangle your neck
You’d always smile and say “theek hai"
And I’d be wondering, “what the heck!”

I can’t thank you enough for being there
Every time I needed you, my evil partner
And I promise to torture you for the rest of my life
If you promise to stay with me a little bit longer

My punching sack, my shoulder to cry on
Angu Dungu, there’s no one else I’d rather rely on

Each new day is like an adventure with you
Bike rides, silly fights, crazy memories we make each day
There’s so much you know and so much you do
Of all the friends who come and go, you’re the one I know will stay

You know the easiest ways to make me smile
You’re more than a friend to me, words are not enough to explain
You can be so sweet and so rude at the same time
At times you leave me so confused, I can’t even complain

I can never stay mad at you no matter how much I try
Coz I know we can make it all work when we’re together
Even if it were my last day and you were standing beside

All I’d want is for you to stay with me a little bit longer

There are so many more of you I haven't mentioned
But you mean no less, I just want to thank you all
For every little priceless memory we shared together
How I wish they lasted a little bit longer

“Just Like Me”

[Verse1]

I never knew it was possible

to find someone like you who is just like me

At first it was all unbelievable

But now we know, this is how it’s meant to be

.

With every twisted step I take,

Having you beside just makes it better

You fix me every time I break

And you’re the world’s best damn smile machine

.

.

[Chorus]

You’re the shining light to my dark,

The torchbearer when I’m falling behind

The saviour of my lost mind,

You’re my shade in the scorching sun

You’re the one person who is always there

When everything around is falling apart,

Every time I’m stuck, you help me kick start

You’re the one I trust, coz I know you care

.

.

[Verse2]

Every time that I feel sad

The sweet sweet things you say make me smile

Every time I lose my head

You bring me back with my feet on the ground

.

Anything that goes wrong with you

Will always get better, you know you’re not alone

I’m going to be standing by you

And if you need to laugh, I will be your clown

.

.

[Chorus]

You’re the shining light to my dark,

The torchbearer when I’m falling behind

The saviour of my lost mind,

You’re my shade in the scorching sun

You’re the one person who is always there

When everything around is falling apart,

Every time I’m stuck, you help me kick start

One person I trust, coz I know that you care

.

.

[Bridge]

It’s funny how we’re always in the same boat

And I bet we always will be, friends forever

Through the ups and downs of life we go together

Together in the ride of this roller-coaster

.

.

[Chorus]

You’re the shining light to my dark,

The torchbearer when I’m falling behind

The saviour of my lost mind,

You’re my shade in the scorching sun

You’re the one person who is always there

When everything around is falling apart,

Every time I’m stuck, you help me kick start

One person I trust, coz I know that you care

.

.

[Break]

I can never be alone till you’re around

I can never be lonely till you’re there for me

You’re the one who sees all the colors of my life

You’re the one who gives my qualities a rise

This is just how it’s meant to be

You’re the ecstasy in my fantasy

.

The Turning Point

How much ever close friends we may be,

There’s always a difference which we will see;

That I’m a girl and you’re a boy

I watch Barbie, you watch troy!

 

A boy and a girl can’t just be friends they say,

I argued so much, it isn’t that way;

If that was the case then why is it now

That our friendship is turning into what they call as love?

 

The comfort level we share is something special,

Which is why I said our friendship is real;

Then why is it that now love is overtaking

And playing dangerous games with our feelings!

 

Don’t hide from yourself, the truth I can see,

You’re afraid of falling in love, your avoiding me;

But it’s up to you to rise or fall

Rise in friendship or choose love as all!

 

If you ask me, I’ll say the same,

Not all relations have a name

Now on yourself, don’t take the blame

Because love and friendship are all in the game!

 

Its time now that we stand to face life,

That has leaded us into this weird strife;

We can’t let love win over friendship’s glory

If so it happens, we’ll have to feel sorry!

Till The End

[Verse 1]

Sometimes I feel like running away

But where do I go? No place to stay!

Wanted to be free from all the relations

Could not survive with God’s creations!

 

I was puzzled, which road to take?

Everything around me seemed to be so fake!

But then an angel held my hand,

Next to me now, here you stand!

 

[Chorus]

Now I have a reason to live

You show me, there is so much to give!

I have learnt that life is a mystery

What’s present today will be tomorrow’s history!

I feel so blessed having you as a friend

And will always be till the end!

 

[Verse 2]

Sometimes I hurt them that I care for the most

Ego and pride force me to boast!

It’s difficult at times to say I’m sorry

I’ll be fine, please don’t worry!

 

I was puzzled, which road to take?

Everything around me seemed to be so fake!

But then an angel held my hand,

Next to me now, here you stand!

 

[Chorus]

Now I have a reason to live

You show me, there is so much to give!

I have learnt that life is a mystery

What’s present today will be tomorrow’s history!

I feel so blessed having you as a friend

And will always be till the end!

 

[Verse 3]

I’m no more puzzled, which road to take?

When you are with me, nothing is fake!

You are an angel holding my hand,

Next to me now, here you stand!

 

[Chorus]

Now I have a reason to live

You show me, there is so much to give!

I have learnt that life is a mystery

What’s present today will be tomorrow’s history!

I feel so blessed having you as a friend

And will always be till the end!
