that year

Brandi Carlile

I must have been sleeping,
I must have been drinking,
I havent been dreaming about you for years.
There was a sharp
Turn and a sunburn
I was too cool for high school that
Year.

Must have have been new years.
No one invited you,
Took things too far
But i missed you and your antics.
You were lonesome and blue-eyed
And so special to us.

You could have taken a long break
Instead of a long drop from a high place.
Ten years i never spoke your name.
Now it feels good to say it.
Your my friend again.

Said he forgave you,
I said i hated you,
He was the bigger man,
I was sixteen.
All the innocense it took
Well i guess you finally made the year book.
That year, that year.

You should have taken a long break
Instead of a long drop,
Instead of a leap of faith,
Ten years i never spoke your name.
Now it feels good to say that
Your my friend again.
Your my friend again.

I was angry,
I was a baptist,
I was a daughter,
I was wrong.
