Old Friends - ben rector

I can still find Wiley’s house

Riding on my bike with eyes closed

I can name every girl that he took out

And from my memory, dial his house phone

Can you take me back when we were just kids

Who weren’t scared of getting older?

(yeah yeah)

'Cause no one knows you like they know you

And no one probably ever will

You can grow up, make new ones

But truth is there’s nothing like old friends (oooh)

'Cause you can’t make old friends (oooh) (mmm yeah)

I can still feel the windows down

Listening to Jimmy Eat World riding 3-wide on Blake’s bench seat (yeah)

My God, it’s been ten years now

I would have his back tomorrow

And he’d still fight anyone who tried to touch me

Can you take me back when we were just kids

Who weren’t scared of getting older?

(yeah yeah) (oooh)

'Cause no one knows you like they know you

And no one probably ever will

You can grow up, make new ones

But truth is there’s nothing like old friends (oooh)

'Cause you can’t make old friends (oooh)

And I’ve got some good friends now

But I’ve never seen their parents' back porch

I wouldn’t change how things turned out

But there’s no one in this time zone

Who knows what inline skates that I bought

Can you take me back when we were just kids

Who weren’t scared of getting older?

(oooh)

'Cause no one knows you like they know you

And no one probably ever will

You can grow up, make new ones

But the truth is

That we grow up, then wish we could go back then

There’s nothing like old friends (oooh)

'Cause you can’t make old friends (oooh)
