500 Million Miles Away

The flash of that camera shook us all

We separated all at once after the parties

Disappeared from our lives

We only hear stories of your journey

Making it big or breaking it all

You got the pretty girl going to Utah

The quiet acquaintance moving to Florida

Best Friend staying in touch 500 million miles away

I see you all and I’m just the lonesome castaway

I’ll stay here and sink in these past to present events

I look back at all those fun times and think of you all

But why did it have to end so soon, who dropped the ball?

Oh yeah, the ******* end was coming

We just didn’t notice that impending doom

The end of apathetic youth they call it

What a strike from a reality hit

We’ll bump into each other and talk on long bus rides

Let’s try to do something together

Or does this mean you’re moving on?

To bigger, better things?

Or are you just **** tired of me?

How can it be?

We were such good friends

Another wound with that knife

I guess that’s just life
