Old Friend Lyrics by Lemoncello

Lemoncello

2024

[Verse 1]
I know you so well I don't know you anymore
I don't ask the questions I did before
But you don't ask me either, this isn't a one-way thing
The air's thick with history, friend, leaves no room for being
And I see you in the company of others these days
And you sparkle like the rain
Something happens when it's just the two of us
And it's hard to explain
But sometimes the light hits at just the right angle
And we laugh like the old days
I love how you've stay by my side
I love you always
[Pre-Chorus]
My mother helped mе up, and I barely even noticеd
My brothers helped me up, and I left them with bruises
My lovers helped me up, and I took them for granted
But a stranger helps me up, and I send flowers
[Chorus]
Old friend, let's pretend that we're strangers again
Old friend, let's pretend that we're strangers again
[Verse 2]
Too much time spent in the same background
I don't notice the changes
I tend to mirror the faces I see around
I don't know who my own is
And I can feel myself fading into the walls around you
I know that my shine is turning to rust
But I believe in beginnings as I believe in endings
Coming 'round again as they must, they must
[Pre-Chorus]
My mother helped me up, and I barely even noticed
My brothers helped me up, and I left them with bruises
My lovers helped me up, and I took them for granted
But a stranger helps me up, and I send her flowers
[Chorus]
Old friend, let's pretend that we're strangers again
Old friend, let's pretend that we're strangers again
[Bridge]
A blank canvas, a white page, a field, so free
The forest of trees before the field came to be
The freedom of darkness and mystery
I want to give you my eyes without what lies beneath
I wipe your face from my memory, and your beauty inspires me
I wipe your voice from my memory, and your jokes surprise me
No obligatory politeness, no more canned laughter
I listen as if silence lay forever after, forever after
[Chorus]
Old friend, let's pretend that we're strangers again
Old friend, let's pretend that we're strangers again
Old friend, let's pretend that we're strangers again
Old friend, let's pretend that we're strangers again
That we're strangers again
That we're strangers again
