Lyrics
Caught myself here thinking of you
Our older brothers who were friends like us too
Even our younger sisters were close in age
My dear old friend who's gone away
Airsoft guns and monkey bars
Open fields and old skateboard scars
Abandoned houses, first kisses, mall parking lots
I wasn't ready for this loss
Caught myself feeling sorry for you
For all this music that keeps coming up new
Your sister will fall in love again and again
Still looking over her shoulder for you
Caught myself feeling jealous of you
For now I know you saw this same world too
For how I know just how it feels to play pretend
Thinking of nothing but the end
But in the end I'll just say I'm sorry to you
I'll cry for your mother and I'lll think of mine too
I'll cry for how I'll live to fight another day
My dear old friend who's gone away
My dear old friend who's gone away
My dear old friend who's gone away
