Foster Lyrics

This is one of my favorite songs on their Album. To me this song seems to be about one of the singer's Friend or ex (or something along those lines of importance). He is watching them, pretending that everything was alright "Guess i always knew / you were broken on the inside" and that the person this song is about would watch everything happen around them but weren't feeling up to doing anything to join in on life because of serve deprssion or emotional problems and no one really seemed to want to talk to the person about the issuses "watch life passing you by / but you couldn't move / and no one asked stoped to ask you / if it was ok" and when the singer couldnt take the person not doing anything to get better they Parted and became strangers to each other then reflects on the times they had together an misses the good ones and feels guilty for not doing anything to help the person out and that their parting shouldnt have happened but the singer still did not ask what was wrong. Finally, the singer looks back at ti and thinks "Surely there had to be a way / to feel okay" and for the person to be happy "Surely there had to be a way oooooo to smile again"
