lyrics

I still remember when we
Met in second grade
The teacher told me
“Help the new kid find his way”
You said hello and we were laughing
Almost instantly

We were inseparable
And stuck with Elmer’s glue
SpongeBob and Patrick
Had nothing on me and you
Pink was your favorite color
I kinda liked pink too

Wesley, can you tell me
How the best of friends can drift away
Wesley, can you help me
All I’ve got are seven years
Of faded memories

We never noticed that
We broke unspoken rules
All of the kids were just so
curious and cruel
We were some misfits
But nobody fit me quite like you

We walked along the fence
At recess every day
You wrote short stories
I liked rhyming poetry
Enchanted crystals
In our magic land of make believe

Wesley, can you tell me
How the best of friends can drift away
Wesley, can you help me
All I’ve got are seven years
Of faded memories

I went to public high school
You moved away
I got to see you on a trip to NYC
We tried to write and call, but
I think we felt the change

You’re not on socials, so I only see the clips
“Degree in English ” and a “Catholic activist”
I wish you’d call me up, and tell me all I’ve missed.

Wesley, can you tell me
How the best of friends can drift away
Wesley, don’t forget me
All I’ve got are seven years
Of faded memories

All I’ve got are seven years
Of faded memories
