Still Your Friend
Journey Through Time: Rediscovering Connections in 'Still Your Friend'
Lyrics
In this day and age
In the present era
There's no excuse
No acceptable justification
A million ways to say hello
Various ways to greet
Why be a recluse?
Why choose to be isolated?
Time is short
Time is limited
These roads are long
The journeys are lengthy
Our separate ways
We are going different paths
Where do we belong?
Where do we fit in?
Was I wrong?
Did I make a mistake?
All that time ago
Referring to a past time
How could I know
Unaware of the consequences
The only road
The only path available
Was taking me away?
Leading me away
Yeah I see your faces every now and then
Occasionally encountering familiar faces
And yeah I get to say that I'm still your friend
Still maintaining a friendship
But only for the sake of never seeing the end
Friendship endures to avoid closure
Of the show that we all walked out on a long time ago
Recalling a shared experience abandoned in the past
Hey how you been?
Asking about the present
Where are you now?
Current whereabouts
Can I call you then?
Permission to contact later?
Is that allowed?
Is it permissible?
I used to know
Past knowledge of each other
Your life as good as mine
Understanding your life as well as mine
I used to have
Previously having more time
A lot more time
Time was more abundant
So much time
A time before global challenges
Before the world collapsed
Before the world faced difficulties
I never asked
Never inquiring about your path
If you were on
If you were on a different journey
A different path away
Separated paths
Yeah I see your faces but you're all on a screen
Seeing familiar faces on a screen
And I wonder if you're thinking much the same about me
Speculating if mutual thoughts exist
Now I said I'd see you later but you know what I mean
Committing to future interactions
So are we still connected? Is it fake as it seems?
Questioning the authenticity of connection
And I know I'm trying to find somebody better to blame
Attempting to assign blame elsewhere
But it's me and it's you and it's a thing we can change
Recognizing shared responsibility for change
So I'll try a little harder to remember your names
Striving to remember names
And I'll let the past be what it was to me
Accepting the past for what it was
But I know I'll see you again
Acknowledging the likelihood of future meetings
And I know I'm still your friend
Asserting continued friendship
