I remember when we first met our freshman year
We skated under a folding table
Back then we didn't know fear
The more I think about it
You probably just don't know
I'm screaming into our tin can but you let your end go
I used to see you nearly every day
Now life, love, and kids got in the way
Will we ever get past these childhood hurts
Can we find a new way to make this work
We were swimming in silver moonlight
Asleep on a stranger's floor
We were hoping the truth might catch us
But now we don't talk anymore
The more I think about it
I'm just afraid of change
I'm signaling your frequency
But now you're out of range
I used to see you nearly every day
Now your other friends got in the way
Will we ever get past these childhood hurts
Can we find a new way to make this work
The ease of our teenage years left us with weak cement
So when the roof caved in and the foundation crumbled
We couldn't fix it
It's easy to blame you
But some nights I think I'm wrong
Where would we be now if we'd written one more song
Will we ever get past these childhood hurts
Can we find a new way to make this work
Can we ever go back your absence hurts
(your absence hurts)
Will we find a new way or make this worse
Will we ever get past these childhood hurts
Can we find a new way to make this work
