My Old Friends

to all my old friends
wherever you are
i wonder what you're doing now
i hope you've found a way to pin down happiness and those temporary things
and the hope in your heart has folded up it's wings
and i hope each day brings you closer
to the people that you are
and i hope in a way it might be true
that that's the same as the people that i knew

i'm sorry when i was younger i was looking out for myself
and i'm sorry when i was younger i thought too much of myself
i wish i could go back and listen to your every word
to show you all i care and to show you that i heard
when i meet new people now it's always a surprise
they always seem to have your smile, your laugh, and your eyes

i'm sorry that i haven't tried harder to keep in touch
and that if we met up to talk there probably wouldn't be much
to say now that would really feel that new
at a certain point it seems we just go on doing the same things that we do
but i hope that each day brings you closer
to the people that you are
and i hope there is some way that it could be true
that you could be even more like the people that i knew
