Old Friend by The Fairview Lyrics

I mark your absence with the passing weeks
And wonder
If you’re delighted by the silence
You think I’m treading but my head’s been underwater
Lungs filled, quietly drowning
I stopped noticing the static
It takes the shape of forward motion over time
And words that used to rhyme just sound discordant
The chords of a chorus are droning on
In the background of my mind
But they’re not mine

If you want the truth
I only woke up just to talk to you
The rest was filler at best
And I will trade and barter
To derive a healthy state of mind
From this hurt I’ve harbored
While you’re doing okay

You remind me of an old friend I knew
You remind me of a habit I outgrew
(You remind me)
You remind me of an old friend I knew
(You remind me)
You remind me of a habit I outgrew
I guess I’m better off
Clinging to half-happy thoughts
I guess I’m better off
Clinging to half-happy thoughts
