[Verse]
We met back when the halls were loud
Lockers slamming, dreams unbound
You were the calm in my teenage storm
A steady light when the world felt torn
[Verse]
From broken hearts to late-night drives
We grew up fast but kept that fire
You always knew just what to say
Even now, a thousand miles away
[Chorus]
You’re in California, chasing your stars
And I’m still here, nursing old guitars
But no matter the distance, no matter the year
You’re not just a memory — you’re still right here
Every laugh we shared, every tear we cried
Still echoes through this heart of mine
I may not see you, but I feel you near
‘Cause best friends like you…
Are always still right here
[Verse]
I see your posts, that west coast sun
You’re living loud, you’re on the run
But I hope you know back in this town
Your name still carries love all around
[Chorus]
You’re in California, chasing your stars
And I’m still here, nursing old guitars
But no matter the distance, no matter the year
You’re not just a memory — you’re still right here
Every laugh we shared, every tear we cried
Still echoes through this heart of mine
I may not see you, but I feel you near
‘Cause best friends like you…
Are always still right here
[Bridge]
One day we’ll meet on a different street
Pick up right where we used to be
No time, no miles, could ever erase
The place you hold no one could replace
[Chorus]
You’re in California, writing your song
But here in my heart, you still belong
Through every season, through every year
I carry your voice… you’re still right here
Every chapter we’ve lived, every page we’ve turned
Still burns like a fire that forever burns
I may not see you, but you’re always near
My best friend, my sister…
You’re still right here
[Outro]
Yeah…
You’re still right here.
