Keep in Touch

Hey!
Are you listening?
Are you still alive?
Are you out there?
Do the words you wrote mean nothing here and now?

“Have a great summer!”
It’s still ringing in my eyes and ears
It’s been around a couple years
Since I last saw your face

And I gotta say!
It’s a little weird that we don’t cross paths
Do you think of me and my sorry ass?
Or did we throw it all away?

Where are you now?
It’s really not a big deal
I just wonder if you feel
A little like you’re missing home

Who are you now?
Are you different, or are you still the same?
Do the same lights guide you
To light the path, wherever you may roam?

Hey!
Do you miss me like you said you would?
I could write so many songs about you
But I’ll forget your names.

I know you didn’t mean much
When you said to keep in touch
But it’d just be cool
If things could stay the same.

“You’re gonna go far!”
Tell me, have I hit the mark?
‘Cause I feel that I’m in the dark
Would your fake faith still ring true?

And I gotta say!
The way you shut your mouth is unsettling
Would it bother you if I took a swing
Dropped a line and just said, “Hey”?

How are you now?
There’s that fine line between fake and friend
You always tread it right down to the end
And I know I’ve done the same

How am I now?
I’m sorry, I’m as much to blame
I’m tired and I’m still the same
Old loser as before

Hey!
Do you miss me like you said you would?
I could write so many songs about you
But I’ll forget your names.

I know you didn’t mean much
When you said to keep in touch
But it’d just be cool
If things could stay the same.

Hey!
Nostalgia is a state of mind
It can heal you, it can be unkind
Or trap you in its haze

I know it’s easy to pretend
You never wanted it to end
But sometimes “glory days” are all we’ll ever have

Hey!
Do you miss me like you said you would?
I could write so many songs about you
But I’ll forget your names.

I know you didn’t mean much
When you said we’d keep in touch
But it’d just be cool
If things could stay the same.

Hey!
Are you listening?
Are you still alive?
Are you out there?
Do the words you wrote mean nothing here and now?
