lyrics

Well I hear rumors about you basically every leap year
It sounds like you’ve done all the things that you set out to
Well I don’t know if I have
And there are times I wish you could tell me
Remind me what my dreams were back when I knew
But six years passed and it somehow seems too soon

Do you remember the shortening days each fall?
Your feet barely grazing our hometown’s worn down sidewalks
It was a picture I could never frame, of a city we would never claim
When I look back, I know I should be proud
But I still flinch when anyone says your name out loud

Oh and if these walls could talk, they’d curse me
And I’m pretty sure they do
Oh and if these walls could talk, then they’d curse me
But not as often as you

Do you still bring a deck of cards to the beach?
Do you still think it’s funny when the ocean wind blows them away?
I remember buying spools of yarn, and then you racing back to my car
Pretending to notice the contrast in shades of teal
These minute differences that only your eyes could feel

Do you still cry each year on your grandpa’s birthday?
I gave his shirts away, but I wore them for some time
They got too small on me, like they were too big for him by the end
I remember you telling me that he was your best friend
I couldn't relate, but I knew I had to pretend

Oh and I still know the phone number to your parents’ house but
I clearly haven’t called in years
Oh and I think my family still gets all of your Christmas cards but
I haven’t asked to see in years

Well did you ever truly believe me?
Or did you know we would expire?
Do you still hate the downtown library
Just because their shelves are higher than you can reach?

Do you still have a house at the beach?

Does your mother still pray for me?

Well, I was cleaning my desk in Stafford when I found the note that
You wrote me freshman year
And although I still don't know how I would respond to it now
Your message is still clear
