Do You Think of Us?

Barefoot walks On hot concrete Burning soles of tiny feet All we wanted to do was get older Pretty boys At the swimming pool Little whispers break the rules Took 13 summers for it to get colder But I can't forget your parents address or the smell of your room Hard as I try it is etched in mind all the prank phone calls Truth or dare afternoons We'd put the sprinkler under the trampoline and jump til dusk And I wonder every now and then, old friend, do you think of us Sweaty palms and pointed toes You fought for the crown and it showed Good at looking at life like a big competition He had glasses and a lisp Didn't tell you my first kiss Neither of us had learned quite yet how to listen But I can't forget your parents address or the smell of your room Hard as I try it is etched in mind all the prank phone calls Truth or dare afternoons We'd put the sprinkler under the trampoline and jump til dusk And I wonder every now and then, old friend, do you think of us Built brightness out of blankets when our own world was too gray I've started typing messages but can't find the words to say Growing up, growing apart, saved fragments of each other's hearts Best friends forever dollar store gold chain I'll find it in a storage box one day Time keeps spinning castles into rain But I'll never forget your parents address or the smell of your room I don't know why but you're etched in mind all the prank phone calls Truth or dare afternoons The sprinkler under the trampoline is overgrown with rust So I'm writing this to you, old friend We don't have to talk too much But I hope every now and then You can smile when you think of us
