The story of us

I wrote this thinking about some of the friends I've grown apart from over the years. When you're young, you think everything will stay the way it is forever, and then one day, you wake up, and that security blanket you had in them is gone.



My best friend
That's who you were back then
In the golden days of summer and red leaves of fall
Life threw us changes and now it feels like everything's rearranging
Wish I could go back to the good old days
When we were so small

You were standing by my side
I was telling you a secret 'cuz I knew you'd keep it
When I needed a reason, you helped me believe it
Those times the tears rolled down our cheeks from laughing, we knew we were catching on to something
You're such a big part of who I turned out to be
It all adds up
It all adds up
To the story of us

You feel so far away
I can tell by the look on your face
So I try to bridge this distance
But it doesn't seem to make any difference
I wonder if you miss me too

You were standing by my side
I was telling you a secret 'cuz I knew you'd keep it
When I needed a reason, you helped me believe it
Those times the tears rolled down our cheeks from laughing, we knew we were catching on to something
You're such a big part of who I turned out to be
It all adds up
It all adds up
To the story of us

No matter how hard I try, I can't remember a time when I didn't miss you or didn't wish you...
