The Magnetic North: So Long

SO LONG
Apologies first and foremost
it's been years since i've called
or wroteit's funny how i ignore
the most vital thinking that we are always close
lord knows that i never meant to forget
but the sense of sentiment , is anept
you were right it's evidential
i've been better with my instrumentals than friends
here i am again never learn
can't return the call show concern
at times i think i change then again
im still writing letters that i never send
can't make amends, can't reverse
all i got is pencils pens and a verse
you deserve the years i disapeared
now thats all, it's been so long
CHORUS:
Since I been weithout you
remember me and you, were like family
no song could ever amount to
the memories that we had, can we
hold on though this time is borrowed
I'm away you cant always stay
Go on though I cannot follow
But I swear youll never hear me say
I know it's a bit late to notice it
but today i fliped this in my photo picks
and there was one with me and you laughing
our inside jokes were everlasting
man you had to see it we had the biggest grins
damn we were the best of friends
no wishing we could say it in the present tense
but we begin every sentense with remember when
and yea we had a blast but what about now?
the only time we chat is when im in town
friends are way convienient i can't believe it
we were ties back when mics was were singing & beating
i mean it how could it come to this
out of everyone i lost, everyone i miss
it's you and only you you were the truest comrad a homie knew
[CHORUS]
Hard to top a simple rule, not a single thought
To my minds aloof, and these shingles got but a single truth
That My life just stops when I'm missing you
Given to melancholy other days I'm staring at the skyline at the bay
Thought I saw your silhouette, felt the tears cause I know youve been dead for seven years
Some bruises will never heal, when we realize that I'm still here
No matter what the burden that happen in the past
Its sad to let it burn the friendship that we had so lets
Value what we have left and forget all the past tense
Though Ive done some things that I cant excuse
I hope you understand I'm still the man you knew
But thank you, I dont say yet enough but thank you
I know its not enough to thank you but I'm grateful
No living creation could ever replace you
So I pray you and I will never stray to a place too far away to erase you
Though its painful I remain strong
I stay faithful even though its been so long
[CHORUS]
Apologies first and foremost
I gotta stop talking to your ghost
But you keep talking to me
These dreams got me walking in a sleep
Please stop reminding me, cant subtract it, flashbacks did???
Broken glass, car window, broken as you fall into comatose
So I pray for the sudden Holy Ghost
Will you say the only that matters most is in vain
The more you hold close the more it fades
More it replays, a curse
Here I am again, with my verses
You deserve the years I disappeared
Not a song, its been so long.
[CHORUS]
