I’ve Been Thinking

I've been sitting in a tree
Contemplating and replaying every life decision I have ever made
Got away from all the noise to have a quiet moment here in the shade

And while I was thinking
You came up in my memories
And just to clarify, this isn't a love song
So here's a quick summary:

My first BFF moved the summer of first grade
And then, two years later you moved, too
I've made a lot of friends since then
And met so many people
But no one compares to you

So I've been thinking
Maybe people are nicer when they're young
Cause who cares
Who's the best or what we will become
Never scared to laugh out loud
Or that people would think we're too much
Yet I know that we were kids
But maybe I should've kept in touch

At the time we made a vow
We would meet up once again when we grew up
And you would live right next door
Didn't even think to share our numbers since the plan seemed so sure
Then we went our separate ways
We haven't spoken since
If you're out there and you hear this song
I hope you know you've been missed

And I've been thinking
Maybe people are nicer when they're young
Cause who cares
Who's the best or what we will become
Never scared to laugh out loud
Or that people would think we're too much
Yeah I know that we were kids
But maybe I should've kept in touch
Oooh I should've kept in touch
Oooh I should've kept in touch
Oooh I should've kept in touch
Oooh
I've been thinking
If you saw me, would you know my name?
It's been years,
And I don't know if things would be the same
Maybe now that we've grown up,
Our friendship's at it's end
But do you ever laugh out loud
And think of your old friend?
