That Year

I must have been sleeping, I must have been drinking, I haven't been dreaming about you for years. there was a sharp Turn and a sunburn I was too cool for high school that year. Must have have been new years. no one invited you, Took things too far but I missed you and your antics. You were lonesome and blue-eyed and so special to us. You could have taken a long break Instead of a long drop from a high place. Ten years I never spoke your name. Now it feels good to say it. your my friend again. Said he forgave you, I said I hated you, He was the bigger man, I was sixteen. All the innocence it took well I guess You finally made the year book. That year. That year. You should have taken a long break instead of a long drop, Instead of a leap of faith, ten years I never spoke your name. Now it feels good to say that your my friend again. Your my friend again. I was angry, I was a baptist, I was a daughter, I was wrong. --- That Year - Brandi Carlile
