Lyrics
It's been 2 years since I last saw you

But it still feels like we're dancing round your room

Almost every afternoon
Recalling shared moments of spending time together.
Remember how we'd spend hours

Playing spin off on Wii party

Or having fun on a safari

But now you're ten thousand miles

Away and I feel guilty
Expressing a sense of guilt about not staying in regular contact.
About not contacting regularly
Acknowledging the challenge of maintaining communication.
But it still feels like I saw you yesterday

Even though it's been years
Contrasting the perceived passage of time with the emotional connection.
I treat my memories like souvenirs

Would I be so lucky

To call you my best friend

Remember when we first met?

My mum had given me a hair cut

But half was left untouched
Highlighting an aspect of the haircut—half left untouched.
But it still feels like I saw you yesterday

Even though it's been years
Revisiting the theme of time passing but the connection remaining.
I treat my memories like souvenirs
Reaffirming the speaker's tendency to treasure memories as souvenirs.
But it's been 2 years since I last saw you
