the floating docks - When We Were Nine Lyrics

I'm further now than I was before
Do you wonder, too?
What we could have done differently
Well, they say hindsight's 20/20
Have our bonds frayed too far?
Have our lives drifted apart?
Can we please stitch up the hole in my sweater and my heart?
Can we go back to writing stories about our future selves
Can we rename each others' dogs again
Can we go back to shooting goals on our dads
Can we climb the tree in our yard
And pretend we're surfing the stars
Can we go back to remember when
Can we go back to when we were nine?
And I'm sorry I called your brother that name
But in my defense he was being a jerk face
It wasn't unprompted, no it wasn't unprompted
And I'm sorry unrequited love made me push you away
And once you were gone I wanted you to stay
I miss watching jeopardy in the dark
And walking your dog in the park
You'd tell me about the Grand Prix winner
We'd manage to get back just before dinner
Oh, we were so young
Can we go back to writing stories about our future selves
Can we rename each others' dogs again
Can we go back to shooting goals on our dads
Can we climb the tree in our yard
And pretend we're surfing the stars
Can we go back to remember when
Can we go back to when we were ten?
