๐ Lyrics
Always so proud to call you dad
On the sidewalk after class
Throwing my backpack in the back
My friends all said you were the coolest
Shades on sunroof ya I knew it
Everytime I made you proud
The floor felt like holy ground
I can see your eyes beaming
Like out of a dream
Cause now
Sometimes the silence is deafening
When your voice used to mean everything
Further and further we're looking back
All of the best days are in the past
I wanna hold onto the old
Where you were my greatest hero
Now when we talk I can play pretend
Look at your face like you're him again
But the future's never bright as where we've been
Like a letter to an old friend
Like a letter to an old friend
Called me on the phone just yesterday
With an ocean in the way
Fifteen hours of a time change
You told me you love and you and miss me
It still means so much but our history now
Reminds me it's not how it used to be
I forgot all the forgotten memories
Further and further we're looking back
All of the best days are in the past
I wanna hold onto the old
Where you were my greatest hero
Now when we talk I can play pretend
Look at your face like you're him again
But the future's never bright as where we've been
Like a letter to an old friend
Under the lights I would hold onto your arm so tightly
Now that they're faded when I replay
It's like a distant dream...
Further and further we're looking back
All of the best days are in the past
I wanna hold onto the old
Where you were my greatest hero
Now when we talk I can play pretend
Look at your face like you're him again
But the future's never bright as where we've been
Like a letter to an old friend
Like a letter to an old friend
Now further and further
We're looking back
But the future's never bright as where we've been
On the sidewalk after class
Throwing my backpack in the back
My friends all said you were the coolest
Shades on sunroof ya I knew it
Everytime I made you proud
The floor felt like holy ground
I can see your eyes beaming
Like out of a dream
Cause now
Sometimes the silence is deafening
When your voice used to mean everything
Further and further we're looking back
All of the best days are in the past
I wanna hold onto the old
Where you were my greatest hero
Now when we talk I can play pretend
Look at your face like you're him again
But the future's never bright as where we've been
Like a letter to an old friend
Like a letter to an old friend
Called me on the phone just yesterday
With an ocean in the way
Fifteen hours of a time change
You told me you love and you and miss me
It still means so much but our history now
Reminds me it's not how it used to be
I forgot all the forgotten memories
Further and further we're looking back
All of the best days are in the past
I wanna hold onto the old
Where you were my greatest hero
Now when we talk I can play pretend
Look at your face like you're him again
But the future's never bright as where we've been
Like a letter to an old friend
Under the lights I would hold onto your arm so tightly
Now that they're faded when I replay
It's like a distant dream...
Further and further we're looking back
All of the best days are in the past
I wanna hold onto the old
Where you were my greatest hero
Now when we talk I can play pretend
Look at your face like you're him again
But the future's never bright as where we've been
Like a letter to an old friend
Like a letter to an old friend
Now further and further
We're looking back
But the future's never bright as where we've been
