[Verse 1]
We used to cut through the park
Shoes wet from the rain
Cheap food in a paper bag
Laughing off the pain
Your name on my old screen
Still wakes up the room
Like a photo in a drawer
Still caught in bloom
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the house feels too still
When the evening falls
I reach for your old joke
And hear it in the walls
[Chorus]
Like the good old days
We use to laugh
I miss you dear friend
I miss you bad
Like the good old days
Say my name again
I miss you dear friend
My dear friend
[Verse 2]
You knew my face by heart
Even on my worst days
You'd pull me back from the edge
In your own brave way
Now I see your chair
By the window pane
And I talk to the empty air
Like you'd answer the same
[Pre-Chorus]
If I could turn one road
And walk it back to you
I'd bring the lighter load
I'd bring the better news
[Chorus]
Like the good old days
We use to laugh
I miss you dear friend
I miss you bad
Like the good old days
Say my name again
I miss you dear friend
My dear friend
[Bridge]
Some nights I swear you're near
In the hum of the fan
In the dent in the porch step
In the mark on my hand
If memory is a door
Then I keep it wide
So you can come through
One more time
[Final Chorus]
Like the good old days
We use to laugh
I miss you dear friend
I miss you bad
Like the good old days
Say my name again
I miss you dear friend
My dear friend
Like the good old days
I hold on thin
I miss you dear friend
'Til I see you again
