lyrics

I remember when we'd stay up all night.
Wouldn't think about sleep til we saw light.
All the sudden you would kick it with the wrong type.
We drifted apart but it's art,
and it's alright.
We talk
but I don't see you in the short-term.
Lost that connection
and it's torture.
Cause I still know your inside jokes.
And I'll be known when I'm a ghost.
And I don't know
if I can go and listen
to the dial tone
or if I can grow.
When the past got me by the throat.
And I feel like if I'da known
I wouldn't write a poem
about waiting by the phone
cause it ain't like I'ma die alone
if I die by this microphone.

(Chorus)

This is for friends I outgrew.
I hope you miss me
I miss you too.
And I ain't sayin that I'm better than you
I just don't get blackout drunk
and sleep til noon.
This is for friends I outgrew.
I hope you miss me.
I miss you too.
And I ain't sayin that I'm better than you.
I just don't do the same drugs we used to do.

And I'm by no means
clean and sober.
But I learned demons
don't need exposure.
I bring it up
because I needed closure.
Wouldn't let me in the club.
I don't know the code word.
I blame all the minutes passing.
Or my voice when it gets this raspy.
All I know is I've never been as happy
as the last time I heard my friend
started laughing.

(Chorus)

Happy Tooth Columbus, Ohio

"Both Happy Tooth and BDotJeff spoke to the idea that music can be therapeutic, and writing and recording is now less about reaching a larger audience than steadying the turmoil within. “You do start to question your own motivations, like, why am I doing this?” Happy Tooth said. “And I’ve realized that I love the art, and I have to make it because deep down it makes me feel better.” - MatterNews ... more
