Hazy Days

Hazy Days, I still remember

Your backyard in September

Piles of drawings on your table

Sun-dust spinning our fable

California called you

But it's 3 am, and I'm still unsure

Am I done mourning

Even after all these years?

How did we get so lucky

To meet again a year later on a Wednesday?

Your favorite band was playing

And somehow, the reunion felt so right

We said, "Hey, how are you?"

I still remember your architecture drawings

Maybe that was our new ending

Two hearts mending

But you didn't know

No, you didn't know

I heard about your wedding

Is it wrong of me for pretending?

I'm truly happy for you

But it's 3 am, and I never got

Any kind of warning

I had a hard time letting go

So I wrote you that letter

They say you should never send

But instead, I'll sing it here

You heard me in the morning

Singing on my bike

Walking in the fields

Making your world alright

Making your world alright

I finally called your roommate

He said you'd left the state

Overnight. Out of sight

But what did I know?

He warned me in the hallway

But I didn't care

I was in love with you anywhere

In the end, I guess we never knew

How the chapter was meant to close

But I'm doing alright

My world grew into a million reasons

To fall in love again

In the silent seasons

I'm doing alright

I folded our memories

Into gossamer wings

Sent them soaring

From the makeshift slingshot

On your bicycle that cool clear starry night

Out of sight

And if I ever saw you again

I'd say, "Hey, how are you?"

It was love, alright. On our bikes that night
