Lyrics
Hello, friend
Greeting a familiar person
It's good to see you again
Expressing happiness about seeing the person again
Hello, friend
Repeating the greeting, emphasizing familiarity
I was sure the last time
Reflecting on the belief that the last goodbye was final
We said goodbye would be the last time
Expressing surprise at the person's return despite the previous farewell
But now you're standing next to me
Acknowledging the person's physical presence now
And oh, I could use some time with you
Expressing a desire for time together
Cause honestly, recently
Acknowledging recent difficulties
Things haven't been easy
Sharing a challenging period
What's it like where you've been?
Asking about the person's experiences during the absence
Have you been bored?
Inquiring about the person's state of mind
Are you making friends?
Asking if the person has made new acquaintances
I'm all ears, or all talk
Offering a listening ear or engaging in conversation
It's whatever you feel
Indicating openness to the person's preferences
Whatever you want
Encouraging the person to choose what they want
We can kick it like we used to
Suggesting a return to past interactions
We can laugh all night
Proposing a joyful time together despite fatigue
from being sleep deprived
Highlighting the possibility of staying awake for laughter
We can kick it like we used to
Reiterating the desire to revive past experiences
And we can get low
Presenting options of going low or high
Or we can get high
Indicating a choice between different experiences
But if you've got to go
Expressing a wish for the person not to leave abruptly
Before we're all caught up
Warning against being caught up in the moment
Then, please
Requesting the person to leave if they must
If you've got to go
Repeating the plea for departure if necessary
Before we're all caught up
Reiterating the caution against being entangled in the situation
Then, please, take me with you
Pleading to be taken along if the person leaves
To see you now
Expressing satisfaction at seeing the person currently
And feel the space we're forced to live without
Describing the void in the absence of the person
That sounds alright to me
Expressing acceptance of the current situation
Relive every moment
Suggesting reliving past moments with the person
That was lost on you and me
Acknowledging moments lost between them
You're my favorite recurring dream
Expressing fondness for recurring memories with the person
We're all here now, wandering
Noting the collective presence in the present
Getting used to the new and what had to be
Adapting to the new and necessary changes
We're all her now wondering
Collectively wondering about the current situation
Isn't it obvious?
Posing a rhetorical question about the person's significance
You're the only one who knew any of us
Acknowledging the person's unique understanding of everyone
Any of us
Asserting the person's knowledge of the group
