Found You Again

We were young, we didn’t know any better but we

Said forever as we kissed beneath the that old street light.

But I was going to ship out, boot camp bound

You looked at me, said you couldn’t stick around

Letters I wanted to write with no address to go so time rolled on and I had to go

But I held your picture when the nights got long

Through the world cities, the bars, and a thousand pretty faces

Tried to lose you in the arms of many

But your laugh, your touch, your ghost always stayed

In the rearview of every girl I chased

And just when I thought I’d never feel again

I turned around… and found you again

Saw you in a message, sixteen years gone

You had that same fire, like nothin’ was wrong

You said, “You’ve changed,” I said, “Yeah, you did too”

But my heart never stopped runnin’ back to you

You smiled like you knew what I’d been through

You said, “I never stopped missing you”

Through the cities, the bars, and a thousand pretty faces

Tried to lose you in the arms of many

But your laugh, your touch, your ghost always stayed

In the rearview of every girl I chased

And just when I thought I’d never feel again

I turned around… and found you again

War changed my hands, but not my heart

You were the light in every dark

And everywhere that I’ve walked alone

Was just the road that led me home

Through the years, through the pain, through the silence

I was searchin’ for you in all this violence

But your laugh, your love, your ghost always stayed

You were the reason I made it each day

And just when I thought it all had to end

You took my hand… and I found you again

Yeah, I found you again…

My first, my last, my never-left friend
