lyrics

We were kids when we first met
Band pins ringed our scally caps
and that was that
But we rolled with different crowds
so our friendship grew in the interstitial hours
I don't know what we talked about
But I was more of an arrogant asshole than I am now
But somehow you stuck around
We did goofy things and became ourselves, now
we are older
settled down
two homeowners
in neighboring towns
teaching the same kids
at the same school
like we dreamed about in 2012
On the balcony of our Allston apartment
eating a breakfast scramble that we made
during the brief time you slept behind the couch
before the landlord said otherwise, yeah
New York trips down for Hallomas
Patricia Drive pickups to Billings Street bashes
the Antifa table and our smoking pipes
Chateau lesson planning and Mahjong night
But we rarely make the time anymore
and that's on both of us I guess
but honestly it's really just inertia;
the end point of a natural rhythm nudging folks apart as they get older
and other things come up
So we take the path that many pairs of old friends take
floating in nostalgia when we still take them to hang?
Recycling the content of a friendship that we made
when we were still in incubation
in our long-passed college days?
Well I hope there are still new memories to make
though I still love all the old ones
and the inside jokes we made
I'm stoked to have you in my life
and I love you like a brother
man, I'm honored just to know you
and I'm thankful that we found one another

We met each other at the perfect time
trying to balance young professional lives with DIY
late nights playing shows 'round the metro
and the songs that you wrote
man they blew my mind
You moved to Philly at the height of it
I was sad as shit
but I knew it had to happen
But what's a couple hundred miles for a hang and a treat?
Yeah we can always hit the Wa(wa) and get focaccia pizza
