Magnetic North - So Long lyrics

Apologies first and foremost It's been years since I called or wrote It's funny how I ignore the most vital thinking that we'll always be close lord knows I never meant to forget but my sense of sentiment, is inept you were right it's evidential I've been better with my instrumentals than friends and here I am again, never learned can't return a call, show concern at times I think I changed, then again I'm still writing letters that I never send can't make amends, can't reverse all I got is pencils, pens, and a verse you deserve, the years I disappeared not a song, it's been so long , since I been without you remember me and you were like family no song could ever amount to the memories that we had, can we hold on though the time is borrowed, I'm aware you can't always stay go on though I can not follow but I swear you'll never hear me say, so long... I know it's a bit late to notice it but today I flipped through some old photo pics and there was one of me and you laughing our inside jokes are every lasting man, you have to see it, we had the biggest grin damn, we were the best of friends I wish I could say that in the present tense but we begin every sentence with "remember when..." and yeah, we had a blast, but what about now? the only time we chat is when I'm in town friends when convenient... I can't believe it we been tight since back when Mike was singing "beat it" I mean it, how could it come to this? of everyone I lost, the one I miss, is you, man, only you, you were the truest comrade a homie knew, it's been so long , since I been without you remember me and you were like family no song could ever amount to the memories that we had, can we hold on though the time is borrowed, I'm aware you can't always stay go on though I can not follow but I swear you'll never hear me say, so long... Now, I perch atop a simple roof, not a simple thought through my mind's aloof, and these shingles got but a single truth, that my life just stops, when I'm missing you, given to, melancholy all the days, staring at the skyline of the bay thought I saw your silhouette, full of tears 'cause I know that you been dead for seven years some wounds, will never heal, but realize, that I'm still here no matter what ever happened in the past, It's sad to let it burn the friendship that we had, so let's, value what we had left and just forget, all of the past debts though I've done some things, that I can't excuse I hope you understand, I'm still the man you knew so thank you, I don't say it enough but thank you, I know it's not enough to thank you, but, I'm grateful, no living creation can replace you, So I pray you, would never stay to, a place too far away to embrace you, but it's painful, I'll remain strong, I'll stay faithful even though... it's been so long , since I been without you remember me and you were like family no song could ever amount to the memories that we had, can we hold on though the time is borrowed, I'm aware you can't always stay go on though I can not follow but I swear you'll never hear me say, so long... apologies first and foremost, I gotta stop talking to your, ghost but you keep talking to me, these dreams that got me walking in my sleep, please, stop reminding me, can't subtract it flashbacks, to the accident, broken gla**, car windows, a broken grasp, as you fall into, comatose, so I prayed father, holy ghost, will you save... the only thing that matters most, it's in vain the more you hold on close, the more it fades the more I replay, the more I curse it here I am again , with my verses you deserve, the years I disappeared, not a song it's been so long , since I been without you remember me and you were like family no song could ever amount to the memories that we had, can we hold on though the time is borrowed, I'm aware you can't always stay go on though I can not follow but I swear you'll never hear me say, so long...
