So Many Years

There’s a crack in the window,
And it won’t stay the same.
No matter how much I ignore it,
It just grows and grows and grows.
Well we used to be friends once,
But things don’t stay the same,
When there’s distance between you
It just grows like a redwood, so slow.

If I was murtaugh,
You know you’d be Riggs.
We’d cause so much trouble
That we wouldn’t fix.
Now the times that I see you,
Well you know they’re so few,
When I hear that you’re well
That’s all I really need.

So many years, kid we can't be who we were.
So many years, briefly held like the water in the bay.
And I can't help but wonder,
Would I still be the same,
If we stayed together?

I know it’s my fault,
I drifted away.
I was young and naïve,
So don’t hold it against me.
She was my first,
I wish I could take it back,
And I wonder where would we be
If I had just stayed on track…

So many years, kid we can't be who we were.
So many years, briefly held like the water in the bay.
And I can't help but wonder,
Would I still be the same,
If we stayed together?

There’s a crack in the window,
And it won’t stay the same.
No matter how much I ignore it,
It just grows and grows and grows.
