that year

• bir brandi carlile sarkisi.
  
  i must have been sleeping, i must have been drinking,
  i havent been dreaming about you for years.
  there was a sharp turn and a sunburn
  i was too cool for high school that year.
  
  must have have been new years.
  no one invited you,
  you took things too far but i missed you and your antics.
  you were lonesome and blue-eyed and so special to us.
  
  you should have taken a long break instead of a long drop from a high place.
  ten years i never spoke your name.
  now it feels good to say it.
  your my friend again.
  
  said he forgave you, i said i hated you, he was the bigger man, i was sixteen.
  all the innocense it took well i guess you finally made the year book that year. that year.
  
  you could have taken some time away instead of a long drop, instead of a leap of faith.
  ten years i never spoke your name.
  now it feels good to say that your my friend again.
  your my friend again.
  
  i was angry, i was a baptist, i was a daughter, i was wrong.
