lyrics

Do you remember
That weekend down south
When we almost kissed
But you missed my mouth?

Well, I forgot
Until I saw online
Where your mother wrote
That you had died

I looked at our messages
From the past
I stared at your words
And I almost wrote back
Almost sent out a greeting
To feel out the black

What did you become?
Who decided you were done?
What was it you could not outrun?

We sang songs with the others
I think we baked bread
I can't remember
The things that were said

And I always thought
I would see you again
Relearn each other
Under the same weird pretense

I don’t want your parents to hear this
I don’t want my parents to hear this
I’m not staking any claim
I’m not your friend
It’s not the same
But I don’t get how you could die
And in those eighteen years of life
for one weekend, make a tiny wave in mine
and how did I forget with time?

What did you become?
Who decided
you were done?
What was it you
could not outrun?

Where are you now?
Can you say?
Are you allowed?
Did you go far?
I hope the sun
is brighter where you are.

My mother asked
if I knew you well
I guess that she
forgot herself
But how could
I have begun?
It was just one weekend
When I was young
