Verse 1

We was kids running through backyards

Hopping fences, leaving scars

Didn’t think about tomorrow

We was just trying to go hard

Fights in the street, laughing it off

You’d swing first, I’d back you up

We was dumb, but we was us

Never thought that’d be enough

⸻

Pre-Chorus

Then you changed, I stayed around

Heard your name in different crowds

Tried to reach but you was gone

I just let that shit die down

⸻

Chorus (simple, raw, repetitive)

I should’ve called you one more time

I should’ve checked if you was alright

Now I’m sitting here like why

Did I let that moment slide

I should’ve said what’s on my mind

Told you everything was fine

Now I’m stuck with all these nights

Thinking I could’ve saved your life

⸻

Verse 2

Then you hit me like “what’s good?”

Pulled up, felt just like it should

Same jokes, same old vibe

Like we never said goodbye

We was talking like before

Like you never left at all

If I knew that was the last

I would’ve never let you walk

⸻

Bridge (low, almost whisper)

Now it’s quiet where you used to be

Sometimes that shit don’t feel real to me

Everybody moved on slowly

But that night still got a hold of me

⸻

Final Chorus (more pain)

I should’ve called you one more time

I should’ve checked if you was alright

Now I’m sitting here like why

Did I let that moment slide

I should’ve called you one more time

I should’ve checked if you was alright

Now I’m sitting here like why

Did I let that moment slide

⸻

Outro (voice fading)

Yeah…

I just wish I knew…
