Sometimes people don't grow together
I think I relearn every year
And it doesn't sit easy with me
But I try to appear like I'm just sitting pretty here
We got nothing to talk about
The silence is uncomfortable
So I fling my words carelessly out of my mouth
And hope they take hold
Ah, old friend
Ah, old friend
I don't think we'd be friends if I met you now
Ah, old friend
Ah, old friend
Ah, we were always more than friends anyhow
Why do people says it's funny when they really mean it's weird?
It's not funny we haven't spoken in years
What you've been up to? What gets you up in the morning?
You're giving me nothing here
You bought a new house, you show me a picture
You tell me all about its whereabouts
You're gonna build your life out there
But to me just another picture of another house
Ah, old friend
Ah, old friend
I don't think we'd be friends if I met you now
Ah, old friend
Ah, old friend
Ah, we were always more than friends anyhow
Think of the history between you & me
Diving bell & the deep sea
We were fifteen fathoms below
I can't fathom who you've grown into
Ah, old friend
Ah, old friend
I don't think we'd be friends if I met you now
Ah, old friend
Ah, old friend
Ah, we were always more than friends anyhow
