​hey amanda

I can still remember sitting
In my room on the floor
You just turned 11
So had I, three weeks before

We'd be on the landline talking
My dad yelled from down the hall
To just invite you over
And get off the phone

I would bike to your house
Or you would come to mine
And even though that's long ago
I'm still here all the time

Hey Amanda, sometimes your heart is full
Of ache and pain and overwhelm
And all the times you've been misunderstood

When we wеre 10. I tied a string to you
And it still holds today
You're across an ocеan
But I'll keep calling you to say

Keep going
Even though it's hard
To even breathe and be alive
But I'm still your friend
And you can always cry
If you want to
If you want to

You taught me all the dance routines
That you had learned in class
And when you started playing the guitar
Oh man, I was so impressed

And I still am after everything that you've been through
In my heart we're still kids
Messing around just like we used to

I would bike to your house
Or you would come to mine
And even though that's long ago
I'm still here all the time

Hey Amanda, sometimes your heart is full
Of ache and pain and overwhelm
And all the times you've been misunderstood

When we were 10, I tied a string to you
And it still holds today
You're across an ocean
But I'll keep calling you to say

Keep going
Even though it's hard
To even breathe and be alive
But I'm still your friend
And you can always cry
If you want to
If you want to
If you want to
If you want to
