Silent Halls

We used to share our lunchbox snacks

And run across the muddy grass

Now we walk the same long corridors

But we just stare right past

That summer went by way too fast

We grew up in a single flash

Now we're in year seven,

wearing different ties

We don't even say hello,

we just close our eyes

Passing in the hallway

like we're made of stone

In a crowded hallway,

feeling all alone

Your new friends laugh at jokes I don't know

I look away and pretend to go

We used to share our deepest secrets

Now we're just ghosts in the row

Was it the bigger classrooms?

Or did we just drift apart?

How did a single summer

Break a childhood heart? (ahhh)

Just a nod would do

(just a nod...) I still remember you
