It's been a while
I can't remember
Since I've been home
Probably December
I miss my girl and my friends
I got that message you said
I'm thinking maybe we can try this again
Sorry baby girl, I think I missed your birthday
I promise I can make it up when I get back
We can kick it on the block
Grab a drink if you're thirsty
You're still the best I ever had
I know I haven't been around in a minute
And the clock on the wall is just
Tick, tick, ticking, but
I don't wanna die before I start living so
There's some things I gotta change
(Hi Jakey, I just got back from my run and I just got your message)
There's some things I gotta change
(I wanna say that I love you and I hope you have a very nice day, call me when you can)
It's been a while
I can't remember
Since I've been home
Probably December
I miss my girl and my friends
I got that message you sent
I'm thinking maybe we could try this again
It's been a while
(All the faces, people in their places
'Bout time I get back to the basics)
It's been a while
(Sun's shining and the money I've been chasing
'Bout time I get back to the basics)
Back to cutting up with Jordan on the East side
Swinging hammers, banging nails just to get by
Looking back, man, those were some good times,
The best we ever had
Now we're picking it up where we left off
Drinking at the church, funny till the last drop
Even though you gotta get off when the ride stops,
Some things will never change
(Some things will never change)
(Jake, there's no way that you check your voicemail)
Some things will never change
(But, if you do, Devon and I are together right now, we're going for a rip)

(Hi Jakey, it's Nona, your dad wants to check if you're home, like you said. When you have the time you call me, okay?)
I'm missing you
(Love you, bye)
