Lyrics

(a message comes through,
Friend One remembers our summer, the love that we knew.)

“Needy and lost, my first real love,”
Struggled when apart, no guidance above.
My boyfriend left for Spain, dreams to pursue,
Imagine being the one who needed someone too.
An emotional wreck, a crush so wide,
Both too scared, feelings we tried to hide.

Pre-Chorus
Neither of us had that high school dream,
Where teenage love was part of the scene.
Our siblings had it, but we missed that part,
Stayed silent, love locked deep in our hearts.
Still friends on Facebook, but never speak,
Holding on to memories, beautiful and bleak.

Chorus
We had a wild ride, highs and lows,
Misread feelings, love nobody knows,
Polaris nights, dentist drives,
Crushes hidden, love that survives.
Too many emotions, buried away,
Twenty years later, what do we say?

Verse 2
Friend Two thought feelings faded fast,
Turned off and gone, love couldn’t last.
But Friend One felt drawn, couldn’t forget,
Secrets kept, full of regret.
Afterhours and chaos, emotions wild,
We were lost in love, reckless and riled.
Words left unspoken, glances unsure,
Our fault for not finding love’s cure.

Bridge
Had a super crush, bigger than we knew,
Wished we had shared what was true.
Imagine us back then, brave and free,
Could’ve had a story for eternity.

Chorus
We had a wild ride, highs and lows,
Misread feelings, love nobody knows,
Polaris nights, dentist drives,
Crushes hidden, love that survives.
Too many emotions, buried away,
Twenty years later, what do we say?

Outro
Now we admit what was left unsaid,
Ghosts of love, haunting our heads.
Maybe it’s late, but here we are,
Hearts aligned, memories like stars.
