The Dream (i.e. Crumpled Failures) Lyrics

I never made the dream
Was just too far out of reach
And though I want it still
Not sure it ever will

God how I miss you
Another seven weeks until
I called you on the phone
but you weren't at home

Pulling out your photograph
So many things
I wish I'd said

I passed through my home town
One of the few that made it out
Nothing has changed
It stayed the same

I ran into an ex-friend
We never had made amends
And after all these years
Things still are weird

There wasn't much - much to say
Friendships often fade away

Been trying to write
this letter to you
Disjointed thoughts
just can't seem to
Get them to display back
what I want them to
Crumpled failures
litter the room

"I ran into an ex-friend. We never had made amends and after all these years things still are weird." I can really relate to that part. I can really relate to the whole song. I ran to into a ex-friend from high school and it was really weird. This friend looked like she was going to cry when we were talking.

Friendships often Fade...that is like the truest thing out there.
