lyrics

What ever happened to us?
We used to play wiffle ball all summer long
in your backyard with your weird little brother
and his weird little friends
then your mom would make lasagna
we'd play video games until 4 AM
life was good back then, my friend

but your parents took you away
I wish that you'd stayed
the memories won't fade away
I wish that you'd stayed

So many years between us
I just don't know how to reach out
the distance fills me with self doubt
Do you share the same memories as me
of the Ramones and street hockey?
Study hall together was pretty sweet.

but your parents took you away
I wish that you'd stayed
the memories won't fade away
I wish that you'd stayed
