Do You Think of Us?

Barefoot walks
On hot concrete
Burning soles of tiny feet
All we wanted to do was get older
Pretty boys
At the swimming pool
Little whispers break the rules
Took 13 summers for it to get colder

But I can't forget your parents address or the smell of your room
Hard as I try it is etched in mind all the prank phone calls
Truth or dare afternoons
We'd put the sprinkler under the trampoline and jump til dusk
And I wonder every now and then, old friend, do you think of us

Sweaty palms and pointed toes
You fought for the crown and it showed
Good at looking at life like a big competition
He had glasses and a lisp
Didn't tell you my first kiss
Neither of us had learned quite yet how to listen

But I can't forget your parents address or the smell of your room
Hard as I try it is etched in mind all the prank phone calls
Truth or dare afternoons
We'd put the sprinkler under the trampoline and jump til dusk
And I wonder every now and then, old friend, do you think of us

Built brightness out of blankets when our own world was too gray
I've started typing messages but can't find the words to say
Growing up, growing apart, saved fragments of each other's hearts
Best friends forever dollar store gold chain
I'll find it in a storage box one day
Time keeps spinning castles into rain

But I'll never forget your parents address or the smell of your room
I don't know why but you're etched in mind all the prank phone calls
Truth or dare afternoons
The sprinkler under the trampoline is overgrown with rust
So I'm writing this to you, old friend
We don't have to talk too much
But I hope every now and then
You can smile when you think of us
