Lyrics
Lost friend
Feeling of having lost a friend
Sitting on a platform bench
Being seated on a bench at a train station
With tickets for a train thats there
Having tickets for a train to an unknown destination
For who knows where
Uncertain about the train's destination
Forever
Indicating a lasting or indefinite period of time
Dear friend
Addressing the lost friend affectionately
It's nice to see you once again
Expressing happiness at seeing the friend again
Sure do miss the time we spent
Missing the past shared moments
Hoping things would end
Wishing for a different outcome
Together
Hoping for unity or togetherness
Then you fade away
The friend begins to disappear or distance themselves emotionally
With the memories made
Reflecting on the memories shared
And it hurts to say
Expressing emotional pain caused by separation
But we need our separate ways
Recognizing the necessity to part ways
And it hurts to say
Reiterating the emotional pain of separation
But we need our separate ways
Reaffirming the need for separate paths
Lost friend
Reiterating the feeling of losing a friend
Could you try at least to make pretend
Asking the friend to pretend or make-believe
To see me on the other side
Requesting the friend to acknowledge from a distance
Of the the tracks dividing "hello"
Reference to the division between the two friends and a longing for connection
Dear friend
Addressing the friend with an observation about their selective memory
You seem to misremember then
Surprised by the friend's unexpected words or actions
I never thought you'd say it so
Never anticipated the friend's expression in this manner
Thought I'd catch the next train home
Intended to take the next train back home
Then you fade away
The friend starts to fade away, possibly emotionally or physically
With the memories made
Reflecting again on shared memories while experiencing pain
And it hurts to say
Expressing emotional distress caused by the separation
But we need our separate ways
Acknowledging the necessity for separate paths despite the pain
And it hurts to say
Repeating the emotional pain of separation
But we need our separate ways
Reaffirming the need for separate paths despite the hurt
And it hurts to say
Repeating the acknowledgement of the necessity to part ways despite the pain
But we need our separate ways
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the need for separate paths despite the emotional distress
