letter to an old friend Lyrics

Always so proud to call you dad

On the sidewalk after class

Throwing my backpack in the back

My friends all said you were the coolest

Shades on sunroof ya I knew it

Everytime I made you proud

The floor felt like holy ground

I can see your eyes beaming

Like out of a dream

Cause now

Sometimes the silence is deafening

When your voice used to mean everything

Further and further we're looking back

All of the best days are in the past

I wanna hold onto the old

Where you were my greatest hero

Now when we talk I can play pretend

Look at your face like you're him again

But the future's never bright as where we've been

Like a letter to an old friend

Like a letter to an old friend

Called me on the phone just yesterday

With an ocean in the way

Fifteen hours of a time change

You told me you love and you and miss me

It still means so much but our history now

Reminds me it's not how it used to be

I forgot all the forgotten memories

Further and further we're looking back

All of the best days are in the past

I wanna hold onto the old

Where you were my greatest hero

Now when we talk I can play pretend

Look at your face like you're him again

But the future's never bright as where we've been

Like a letter to an old friend

Under the lights I would hold onto your arm so tightly

Now that they're faded when I replay

It's like a distant dream…

Further and further we're looking back

All of the best days are in the past

I wanna hold onto the old

Where you were my greatest hero

Now when we talk I can play pretend

Look at your face like you're him again

But the future's never bright as where we've been

Like a letter to an old friend

Like a letter to an old friend

Now further and further

We're looking back

But the future's never bright as where we've been
