When Summer was over, I said goodbye to my friends
But I didn't cry, 'cause I thought I'd be back again
We'd sit on that green couch, talkin' over a movie
Complainin' choir practice with Dully
And drive around town didn't mean nothin' to me
With nothin' to do, we thought nothin' would change

But I don't go home and I don't answer my phone
I miss parties and birthdays, and inside jokes
It's hard to meet in the middle on different roads
I'll get back there sooner or later
But right now it feels like I'm not keepin' old friends
I'm just makin' new strangers

If I took off a week
And took high 56
Seven hours in my car
To be back where I lived
Would your mom's house still have that green couch in it?
Will we reminisce for more than a minute?
Or would we find out we're just too different now?
That's why

I don't go home and I don't answer my phone
I miss parties and birthdays, and inside jokes
It's hard to meet in the middle on different roads
I'll get back there sooner or later
But right now it feels like I'm not keepin' old friends
I'm just makin' new strangers
