letter to an old friend

(앨범: Social Butterfly - 2022)

Always so proud to call you dad
On the sidewalk after class
Throwing my backpack in the back
My friends all said you were the coolest
Shades on sunroof ya I knew it
Everytime I made you proud
The floor felt like holy ground
I can see your eyes beaming
Like out of a dream
Cause now
Sometimes the silence is deafening
When your voice used to mean everything

Further and further we're looking back
All of the best days are in the past
I wanna hold onto the old
Where you were my greatest hero
Now when we talk I can play pretend
Look at your face like you're him again
But the future's never bright as where we've been

Like a letter to an old friend
Like a letter to an old friend
Called me on the phone just yesterday
With an ocean in the way
Fifteen hours of a time change
You told me you love and you and miss me
It still means so much but our history now
Reminds me it's not how it used to be
I forgot all the forgotten memories

Further and further we're looking back
All of the best days are in the past
I wanna hold onto the old
Where you were my greatest hero
Now when we talk I can play pretend
Look at your face like you're him again
But the future's never bright as where we've been

Like a letter to an old friend
Under the lights I would hold onto your arm so tightly
Now that they're faded when I replay
It's like a distant dream...

Further and further we're looking back
All of the best days are in the past
I wanna hold onto the old
Where you were my greatest hero
Now when we talk I can play pretend
Look at your face like you're him again
But the future's never bright as where we've been

Like a letter to an old friend
Like a letter to an old friend
Now further and further
We're looking back
But the future's never bright as where we've been
