Hey there old friend I'm a five out of ten today I could be better But couldn't we all? I stopped by the store And bought myself a bottle more Of sorrow to drink away While my thoughts of you replay And my days are strange and just fade to gray Ever since that day, you went a separate way But I still see the shadow of your smile Could our memories come back for a while? Now they're hidden away and were both led astray When will I realize they were never meant to stay? Hey there old friend What's it like from where you are? I wish you weren't so far Oh I feel so apart Can we both restart? I wished on a star As I looked through my windowpane The hushed misty rain And thoughts of all that won't remain I tried my best not to forget the memory of your face My heart still holds a place, that's always been the case But I still see the shadow of your smile Could our memories come back for a while? Now they're hidden away and were both led astray When will I realize they were never meant to stay? While the days fade away I know we'll be okay While the days fade away along the way
