I can still remember sitting
In my room on the floor
You had just turned 11
So had I three weeks before
We'd be on the landline talking,
My dad yelled from down the hall
To just invite you over
And get off the phone
I would bike to your house
Or you would come to mine
And even though that's long ago
I'm still here all the time
Hey Amanda, sometimes your heart is full
Of ache and pain and overwhelm
And all the times you've been misunderstood
When we were 10 I tied a string to you
And it still holds today
You're across an ocean
But I'll keep calling you to say
Keep going
Even though it's hard
To even breathe and be alive
But I'm still your friend,
And you can always cry
If you want to
If you want to
You taught me all the dance routines
That you had learned in class
And when you started playing the guitar
Oh man, I was so impressed
And I still am after everything that you've been through
In my heart we're still kids
Messing around just like we used to
Hey Amanda, sometimes your heart is full
Of ache and pain and overwhelm
And all the times you've been misunderstood
When we were 10 I tied a string to you
And it still holds today
You're across an ocean
But I'll keep calling you to say
Keep going
Even though it's hard
To even breathe and be alive
But I'm still your friend,
And you can always cry
If you want to
If you want to
