What outstanding lyrics. The content deals with an issue that may not have been addressed in a pop song before-the phenomenon of how as we get older, we lose touch with friends who have at one point in our lives have been very important to us. Friends from grade school, high school, college, whatever, that you haven't seen, talked to or dealt with at all for a very long time.
It is weird how you can be so close to somebody for years and without really having too much go wrong, you will probably never communicate with them for the rest of your life. It really is kind of sad as we are on this rock for a century tops and that is it.
Between work and family and moving and shifting interests, many friends seem to vanish over time. How many times have you wondered about somebody and said to yourself "I wonder how he is doing. I should drop him a line."
Then you wake up the next day and you are on to more pressing matters.
It really is sad when you think about it. It would be nice to see some of those people again. But it probably won't ever happen.
