This one’s for the ones who didn’t keep in touch Those who wandered off into the forest of war Those who wondered how I was but didn’t call Those who I loved once upon a distant shore This one’s for the guys I went to school with And those girls who married up and moved on Those who had to get out of our hometown Those who are missing, those who are gone I miss you more than you will ever know I think of you and the memories we made On those dirt roads out by the beach At the house parties, drinking lemonades If you ever get out to my neck of the woods If you ever want to come over, let’s talk I promise to pay attention to your observations And it’ll feel like we just took a nature walk Did you think of me at all when you were striving To make the cut, the grade, or knit that shawl? Did you get to ski that trail you couldn’t back then? Did you ever learn to hit that golf ball? Did you fall in with the wrong crowd? Did everything seem to fall right in place? I wouldn’t know cause we’re not talking now We could get on Portal so I’d see your face I miss you more than you will ever know I think of you and the memories we made On those dirt roads out by the beach At the house parties, drinking lemonades If you ever get out to my neck of the woods If you ever want to come over, let’s talk I promise to pay attention to your observations And it’ll feel like we just took a nature walk Now, maybe you’ve seen some of my lyrics I’ve been posting a lot on my writing website But don’t believe everything you read on it I’ve been struggling to sleep through the night I worry about all those things we've been through If we could pick up where we left off back then Cause I don’t know about you, but it’s been hard I really would like to chat with you, dear old friends Oh, I’d really love to chat with you, dear old friends March 7, 2021
