Hello, old friend, I haven't seen you in awhile
Hello, I've been busy, how 'bout you?
Hello, old friend, I haven't seen you in a long time
Things aren't like they used to be
Things aren't like they used to be
Hello, my son, I haven't seen you in awhile
Hello, I've been growing, how 'bout you?
Hello, my son, I haven't seen you in a long time
You're not as small as you used to be
You're not as small as you used to be
You see my calendar got full
And I made new friends
I got married and had kids
And I had to go to their T-ball games
I just ran out of time to talk
To the only one that's worth talking to
And it seems kind of silly when I say it like that
But it seems kind of silly anyways
Hello, my God, I haven't seen you in awhile
Hello, I've been too busy for you
Hello, my God, I haven't seen you in a long time
You're still as patient as you used to be
You're still as patient as you used to be
You see my calendar got full
And I made new friends
I got married and had kids
And I had to go to their T-ball games
I just ran out of time to talk
To the only one that's worth talking to
And it seems kind of silly when I say it like that
But it seems kind of silly anyways

See You Tomorrow

3:15 on the corner of South and Oak Drive
Our paths would cross, and we'd walk home side by side
And it'd seem like time with you
Would stand still as our feet moved
And then all the clocks would start
Again as I said "see you tomorrow"
At the stop sign, just down the road from my home
We'd sit and chat until all the streetlights turned on
And it'd seem like time with you
Would stand still as our feet moved
And then all the clocks would start
Again as I said "see you tomorrow"
You would meet me on the way home after school
And every day I would look forward to you

Maybe You

Summertime is coming
But I just met you
And not I can't try to hold your hand 'til August
Summertime is coming
And I think I will miss you
I hope I can be right by your side come August
Most of the time, my heart is hollow
I just borrow, beg, and steal
Most of the time, I am craving,
I am waiting for something real
Maybe you
40 days of summer
Is 40 days of rain
Even if the sun is out and shining
Most of the time, my heart is hollow
I just borrow, beg, and steal
Most of the time, I am craving,
I am waiting for something real
Maybe you

I'm made of metal, got no bones
Perfectly logical, when I'm on my own
Perfectly strong, perfectly honest
'Cause I'm made of metal
You're made of muscle, flesh, and bone
And when I hold you I don't feel alone
Perfectly strong, so full of empathy
'Cause you're made of muscle
And if I had a choice, I would be human, too
Because while my body slept I could still dream of you
My mind is circuits and memory
I can process but I can't feel a thing
Stare at the stars, look at the crescent moon
But my mind's just circuits
And if I had a choice, I would be human, too
Because while my body slept I could still dream of you

40 and Raining

Well it's 40 and raining again in Kentucky
And I can't get the thought of you out of my head
So I'll go for a long walk, and if I am lucky
I'll catch some pneumonia and spend all next week in my bed
And as I'm in bed I'll tell you I'm under the weather
In hopes you'll feel pity, and visit me soon
But instead you'll say "get well" as you think of another
And I'll dream of a world where I could have spent more time with you
But that's how it goes
Things tend to work themselves out in a way
That I wouldn't have chosen myself
That's how it goes
That's how it goes
Well it's 40 and raining, again in Kentucky
And it's been a week but the forecast's the same
The way life has gone lately, I don't mind being lonely
Thought now that I'm healthy my outlook should probably change
But that's how it goes
Things tend to work themselves out in a way
That I wouldn't have chosen myself
That's how it goes
That's how it goes

Darling

Tell me a story I've never heard
Something new about you
We've known each other coming on up seven years
But I still wanna know you better
I'll be the stairs, you be the footsteps
I'll be the road, you be the car
I'll be the runway, you be the jet plane
I don't care, long as it's you
Life would seem wrong without you, darling
Couldn't make it alone
I have tried, I have failed
Stay by my side, 'cause I need you, darling
Stay by my side
All I see is an open road, we've got the world before us
We've got time enough to make our way around the globe
Time enough to journey
Go grab your jacket, I'll get the passports
And pack a bag, we're on our way
Go pull the car around, I'll book the tickets
We'll leave today
Life would seem wrong without you, darling
Couldn't make it alone
I have tried, I have failed
Stay by my side, 'cause I need you, darling
Stay by my side
I'll be the stairs, you be the footsteps
I'll be the road, you be the car
I'll be the runway, you be the jet plane
I don't care, long as it's you
