(Intro)
Yeah…
Funny how the smallest moments become the biggest memories.
This one’s for a friend.
(Verse 1)
End of junior year, never saw it coming,
One conversation turned into something.
Summer rolled around, we were online every night,
Fortnite in the headset, everything felt right.
Talking ’bout the future, talking ‘bout today,
Never thought those nights would slowly drift away.
We weren’t chasing fame, we were just killing time,
Now I look back wishing I could press rewind.
(Hook)
Life keeps changing, people change too,
Different roads don’t erase the truth.
Miles between us, different skies above,
Distance can’t erase real love.
It’s not the same, I won’t pretend,
But you’re still one of my closest friends.
(Verse 2)
Senior year, every week another memory,
West Pride meetings writing our history.
Cutting colored paper, every piece in place,
Building one rainbow, every different shade.
Hung it by the theater where everyone could see,
A little piece of us, a little piece of me.
UNO after lunch, cards flying everywhere,
Hit the floor so fast, everybody stopped and stared.
Couldn’t stop laughing, that moment stayed,
Funny how the little things never fade.
(Bridge)
Nobody tells you this when you’re eighteen…
Sometimes you don’t lose your friends.
Life just gets louder.
Schedules get fuller.
Maps get bigger.
And conversations get quieter.
(Verse 3)
Graduation came but we kept the line,
Missouri State while I stayed behind.
Community college, still chasing dreams,
Different classrooms, same team.
Then your family packed and headed out west,
California calling for another fresh step.
Second year came and the silence grew,
Not because we wanted it… that’s what life can do.
Every now and then I still check my phone,
Thinking ‘bout the days we weren’t alone.
It’s crazy how a friendship can evolve,
Without anybody doing anything wrong.
(Final Hook)
Life keeps changing, seasons never wait,
Some doors open while others hesitate.
Even if we don’t talk every single day,
The memories never fade away.
From Fortnite nights to that rainbow wall,
To UNO cards scattered down the hall.
Different roads, different dreams to chase,
But you’ll always have a place.
Because real friends don’t disappear with time…
Sometimes they just live different lives.
(Outro)
Maybe one day we’ll laugh like we used to.
Maybe we won’t.
Either way…
I’m grateful our paths crossed at the end of junior year.
Some friendships aren’t measured by how often you talk—
They’re measured by the memories that never leave.
