Calling Old Friends Lyrics by Defiance, Ohio

The Great Depression

2006

[Verse 1]
The roads that stretch ahead of us, the roads that led us here
Singing traditional renditions of the songs we sang last year
And though these times have made us stronger, the outcome's no more clear
[Verse 2]
Calling old friends to make sure they're real
Talking, talking just to feel
That sense of home you lost when you left last year
Distance is just numbers on a dashboard
Hours thinking about
Nothing but the transmission stutter you fear
[Verse 3]
I remember what you whispered in my ear
And all those things we tried so hard to never have to hear
Like, "Kids, tighten up, start saving for the golden years"
Well, that picture, it fades day by day and the outcome's not so clear
[Verse 4]
Don't think I'll see you around this winter
And my tongue's stuck full of splinters
'Cause I'm embarrassed to admit what I've been thinking
Hope keeps some afloat, but for me, it's no lifeboat
The tighter I hold, on the deeper down I'm sinking
[Verse 5]
I tried to put my finger on it, but I gave it my whole arm
I reached out with good intentions, but it only did more harm
We find ourselves alone ever since the day we're born
And we seek someone to sew sutures in the places that we're torn
