Neither Do I

(album: Rock Bottom - 2021)

I can't tell you why I'm calling
I know it's been a long, long time
The weather's fine here, thanks for asking
To be honest a little sun would be nice

I heard that you moved to the west coast
Just like we used to talk about
Seems like we were only kids then
Tell me, how many years is it now

And do you ever think about us
Or wonder from time to time
Where it all went wrong, or what we might have been
Neither do I

I saw your face up on a billboard
It's good to know you're doing well
We used to laugh about those big lights
And the souls we wouldn't sell

And me, I'm working 'cross the country
Playing shows and paying dues
It's not a lot, but it's something
I never could keep up with you

But have you ever seen a face there
In the crowd that reminds you of mine
And for a moment you almost wish it were
No, neither do I

But ain't it strange
How time and people change
The same way that they don't
It's the same way that you won't

I'm sorry, I don't mean to keep you
Please tell your family I said hi
It's been nice catching up, do you want to stay in touch
Neither do I
