letter to an old friend

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
