Ten years I never spoke your name, now it feels good to say that you're my friend again.



I must have been sleeping
I must have been drinking
I haven't been dreaming about you for years
There was a sharp turn and a sunburn
I was too cool for high school that year

Must have have been new years, no one invited you,
You took things too far but I missed you
And your antics
You were lonesome and
Blue-eyed and so special to us

You should have taken a long break
Instead of a long drop from a high place
Ten years I never spoke your name
Now it feels good to say it
You're my friend again

Said he forgave you, I said I hated you
He was the bigger man, I was sixteen
All the innocence it took for
you to finally make the year book
That year
That year

You could have taken some time away
Instead of a long drop, instead of a leap of faith
Ten years I never spoke your name
Now it feels good to say that you're my friend again
You're my friend again

I was angry
I was a baptist
I was a daughter
I was wrong
