Old Friends

Old Friends
I can still find Wiley’s house
Riding on my bike with eyes closed
I can name every girl
That he took out
And from my memory
Dial his house phone
Can you take me back
When we were just kids
Who weren’t scared of getting older?
Because no one knows you
Like they know you
And no one probably ever will
You can grow up, make new ones
But truth is there’s nothing
Like old friends
Because you can’t make old friends

I can still feel the windows down
Listening to Jimmy Eat World
Riding three-wide on Blake’s bench seat
My God, it’s been ten years now
I would have his back tomorrow
And he’d still fight anyone
Who tried to touch me
Can you take me back
When we were just kids
Who weren’t scared of getting older?
Because no one knows you
Like they know you
And no one probably ever will
You can grow up, make new ones
But truth is there’s nothing
Like old friends
Because you can’t make old friends
And I’ve got some good friends now
But I’ve never seen
Their parents’ back porch
I wouldn’t change how things turned out
But there’s no one in this time zone
Who knows what inline skates
That I wore
Can you take me back
When we were just kids
Who weren’t scared of getting older?
Because no one knows you
Like they know you
And no one probably ever will
You can grow up, make new ones
But the truth is
That we grow up
Then wish we could go back then
There’s nothing like old friends
Because you can’t make old friends
Recordar el pasado puede transportarnos a un lugar donde nuestras mejores memorias residen. En la canción 'Old Friends' de Ben Rector, se evoca la nostalgia de la juventud y la conexión profunda que solo los viejos amigos pueden ofrecer....
