lyrics

I wonder how you've been
What you're doing these days
I hope that you’re happy
I hope you found your way
I wonder in passing
If you ever think of me
If you still have the costume
You wore on Halloween

Oh, I miss the way we used to be
Before it crashed tragically
Oh, I miss the friend I used to have
I miss the way we used to laugh

I wish I never came to Berea that day
I wish that I had taken more time to be okay
I wish I never hurt you in the way that I did
But most of all I hate how our friendship is nonexistent
It’s awkward conversations
And the small talk it makes me so sick
You know we took our chances
Now we’re nothing but acquaintances

Oh, I miss the way we used to be
Before it crashed tragically
Oh, I miss the friend I used to have
I miss the way we used to laugh
Oh, I miss the things you used to say
We could talk about anything
Oh, well I guess this is how it has to be
But I still blame this all on Journey

I wish that I could find a way to make this right
I wish your family didn't see me in a negative light
I wish that things were back to when we never felt this way
I wish I had my friend back
I miss that every single day
God I miss that every single day

I know that you're just fine
And I'm quite the same
Time's done some healing and we're both to blame
I hope you've found some peace in this beautiful life
I hope you know that I miss your friendship, all feelings aside
