I remember,
You and me,
We were happy
Living freely
Our visions tinted by rose-gold.

We were going
Real slow
On the coaster of life
Don't you know
I wanted to together grow old,

But a voice began to chime,
I advanced too far,
You're still on the side bar.
Like lyrics that don't rhyme.

Wish you were here
At my side;
That our friendship survived
But I gotta let go,
You know,
I'm a kid no more.

Wish you were here
'Stead of far away,
Prob'ly wasting your day
But I can not cry,
"Goodbye,
Hope that you're done for."

Care to give me a call?
Care to write to my address?
You're most likely partying,
If I had to guess.
I just hope that,
I reach you.

Perhaps empathy's
Not beneath you.
And perhaps,
I was too offended
So our bond
Can be mended
And we can just forget this.

But a voice begins to croon,
I advanced too far,
You're still on the side bar,
Like singers out of tune.

Wish you were here
At my side;
That our friendship survived
But I gotta let go,
You know,
I'm a kid no more.

Wish you were here
'Stead of far away,
Prob'ly wasting your day
But I can not cry,
"Goodbye,
Hope that you're done for."

Oh, I wish I could just be happy,
And you would stand by me
Like we were meant to be.

Wish you were here
At my side;
That our friendship survived
But I gotta let go,
You know,
I'm a kid no more.

Wish you were here
'Stead of far away,
Prob'ly wasting your day
But I can not cry,
"Goodbye,
Hope that you're done for."

Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?

But I gotta let go,
You know,
I'm a kid
No more.
