Lyrics
Oh my old friend
Reflecting on a friendship
Our youth is fleeting
Acknowledging the transience of youth
Time we used to spend
Recalling past shared moments
Is now spent on competing
Noting a shift towards competition
Having the time of our lives
Mix of enjoyable and challenging times
Just not always
Admitting not always having a good time
You know I want to try
Expressing a desire to attempt reconciliation
To try again
Expressing willingness to try again
You said “please don’t call me that”
Recalling a request not to be called a certain name
I said “please don’t call me back”
Recalling a request not to be called back
Oh my old friend
Reiterating thoughts about the friendship
This one’s for you
Dedicating the next part to the friend
Do you think you’ll ever miss me?
Pondering if the friend will miss the speaker
Or are we just ancient history?
Questioning if the relationship is now history
Do you think you’ll ever miss me?
Repeating the question about being missed
Do we leave it as a mystery?
Considering leaving the past as a mystery
It’s here so soon
Time passing quickly
I’ll be after you
Expressing intent to pursue the friend
So I guess friends
Recognizing the impermanence of friendships
Don’t last forever
Finding solace in solitude
Time I spend alone
Enjoying time spent alone
Starts to feel much better
Feeling better without the friend
You say “we can work this out”
Friend suggesting reconciliation
I said “I’ll be leaving now”
Speaker deciding to leave
1 point is mine
Point system introduced
1 point is yours
Points assigned to each party
It feels like we’re keeping score
Perceiving the relationship as a competition
Do you think you’ll ever miss me?
Repeating the question of being missed
Or are we just ancient history?
Reiterating uncertainty about the relationship's status
Do you think you’ll ever miss me?
Repeating the question of being missed
Do we leave it as a mystery?
Considering leaving the past as a mystery
It’s here so soon
Time passing quickly
I’ll be after you
Expressing intent to pursue the friend
Now more than ever
Emphasizing the urgency of the situation
Feels like now or never
Sense of time running out
We get older every day
Acknowledging the inevitability of aging
I just wish I had more to say
Regret over not expressing more
It’s here so soon
Time passing quickly
I’ll be after you
Expressing intent to pursue the friend
Do you think you’ll ever miss me?
Repeating the question of being missed
Or are we just ancient history?
Questioning the status of the relationship
Do you think you’ll ever miss me?
Repeating the question of being missed
Do we leave it as a mystery?
Considering leaving the past as a mystery
It’s here so soon
Time passing quickly
I’ll be after you
Expressing intent to pursue the friend
Yeah I’ll be after you
Affirming the speaker's pursuit of the friend
