Remember When We Used To Be Awesome We were close, you and I. We spent hours together, not really doing anything. But we didn't do it...together. The camaraderie. The brotherhood. That certain feeling that, no matter what happened out there, we had one another. We were two of two, no others like us. We were awesome.
And now we've drifted apart like rocks and wood in the river. I went to become something else, you stayed the same but changed so much. I wanted to be a man of many worlds, you became many men of one world. I wanted to be everything to someone, you became something to everyone. I strived to become what nobody had been before and be praised for it, you were what everyone else became and you were loved for it. If I knew what I know now, I would have stayed a little longer. I would have drink a little more. I would have changed. But it wasn't meant to be.
And now, here we are, between one another. A crossroads we never saw coming. In some ways, most ways, we were destined to be with each other at least once more before our last hurrah. The band was always going to get back together, but maybe we thought we could survive without each other. The truth is, I tried to live without it. And in doing that, I just replaced you with young pretenders. You were my first. You were my most real. My most raw. You were what I envision everything else as. You were my template. My formula. My ideal. And now we've changed. And so is life.
Truth be told, I miss you. Almost more than I ever thought I could. Could I come back, perhaps. Will I, probably not. Some things are best left to the imagination. Some films should never be remade. Some songs should never be covered. Some relationships should remain untouched. But I still love you. In one way or another, I always have. And I probably always will. My first. My last. My everything?
