forevermore 2

it's different now
you work on the west side of the river
in a big shiny building
that always looks brand new
I know you're busy
it's so cold that I could shiver
when I think about 
how the world has changed
from the world we once knew
still, it might be good to stay friends
maybe go have coffee
like we used to before
please don't tell me
those times are at an end
and those days are gone
forevermore

so much to do
business is, as they say, booming
it's supply and demand
and you do what you must do
I'd like to tell you
that my life also is improving
but I'd be lying through my teeth
but I guess that's what I'm supposed to do
still, it might be good to stay friends
maybe grab a beer
at that brewery next door
please don't let on
that friendship disappears
and those days are gone 
forevermore

send me a text
let me know you're still living
yeah, time moves on
with new spaces left to fill
tell all I send my best
have fun there in the city
you say we'll see each other later
but you know we never will
still, it might be good to stay friends
we could meet for a bite
at that place by the store
sometimes people vanish
like dying stars in the night
it's time to move on
those days are gone
forevermore
