lyrics

It's the same thing
Tie us together like chain links
Uncomfortable silence around me
But you didn't seem to mind it
Surprised me that u didn't seem to mind it

A friendship
I wasn't expecting to find you
In a place I didn't recognize
But the voices I heard in the hallways brought me home

You were tryna figure out what you're supposed to do and to some degree I was too

Cause we were both so young
We were both so young
And I won't ever forget that
I won't ever forget that
I won't ever forget

Made plans for
The first time I was home
In a while. Dusted off a smile
I misplaced. Have a chance to recreate
Conversations I would make in desperation

A phone call
I wasn't expecting to hear you
Heavy breaths between the words
You were saying. You were shaking.
I was praying you were mistaken

Felt my heart sink
Cried for hours
Held my friends close
Count my blessings
I'm so lucky to be here

We were typing in past tense. It felt wrong to do and to some degree it doesn't still.
I guess 23 years can't prepare you for this but I think that's the point of it all

Cause we're still so young
Yeah we're still so young
And it's not hard to forget that
It's not hard to forget that
But you were still so young
You were still so young
And I won't ever forget you
I won't ever forget you
I won't ever forget
