old best friend - what was i supposed to say to you? كلمات الأغنية

the sun cast my shadow on the pavement of your neighborhood
i didn’t know what i was looking for
i was retracing footsteps you took some ten years ago
i went out alone

what was i supposed to say to you?

high atop the hill, it seemed the tallest on the coast
at least to me it was the steepest slope
following directions from the return address of an envelope
a tiny, yellowed note

what was i supposed to say to you?

then i came across a small tree, newly bearing fruit
a theft that i could justify
my mouth was dry, i needed to
remind myself you were far too young
to see this tree in bloom
you come in on cue

“i don’t know
if it wasn’t for the time spent during adolescence
sending letters back east
would you have forgotten me?
a former friend that
faded to the west
was not a cause for concern
vague promises to return

twisted my arm
to pull me in
before i left
you captured my violin

went to my parents
asking for their blessings
in remembering me
haha, how flattering.”

even though
i know that
you’re not home
there’s a part of me that still hopes you’ll be

somewhere up the stairs
sitting in your desk chair
covering envelopes in bits of tape and string

because if i don’t forget you
then you’re not forgetting me
what was i supposed to say to you?
feels like i barely knew you
really, what was i supposed to say?

- old best friend
