lyrics

Let's rewind to a simpler place and time, when schoolbooks and rumors seemed to matter
We were younger, ten or eleven years ago
When did our sneakers start to wear?

Those imaginary days
Do you remember?

Making calls, calling names
Hey old friend are you there?
Please wake up
I haven't heard from you in months
Don't leave a message, I'm not here

Forming letters into words, and words into sentences
With numbers onto keyboards, to send as instant messages

When lemons weren't as sour and peaches weren't as bitter sweet
I really miss those days of screaming, rehearsing, and getting you out of your house

Making calls, calling names
Hey old friend are you there?
Please pick up
I haven't heard from you all year
Don't leave a message, I don't care

We'd go on, and on, and on for hours
Running faster, and faster, and further through time

I can't keep up anymore
Sometimes I wish I could just go back, but those days are now imaginary

I wish I could come face to face with all my stubborn insecurities
I'd say don't worry all the time
In the morning, they'll all be mere memories
