Two Friends - Intellectual

[Verse]

As I biked down the road to your house, I sped through all the speed bumps

So we could microwave s'mores in your kitchen, then play 64 games in your basement

And we'd talk about all this dumb shit that you'd talk about in any small town

As 12-year-old boys with privilege, thinking we knew what life was about

'Cause we were two friends, but we felt like siblings

Separate by four months, and a bend in the road, and an area code

'Cause we were two friends, that felt just like siblings

And we swore that'd never change, we would always be here

You would bike to my house more than me, doing wheelies on all the speed bumps

To watch me play Subspace Emissary, and eat Sunday dinner with my family

And we'd talk about all of our dreams, thinking we'd see a Galaxy 3

Thinking we'd start a YouTube career, pretending we had nothing to fear

'Cause we were two friends, but we felt like siblings

Separate by four months, and a bend in the road, and an area code

'Cause we were two friends, and we felt like siblings

And we swore that'd never change, we would always be here

Then you moved away, I thought that was okay

I drove east to your house on the Shore

I thought to myself it'll be the same

You didn't have a basement anymore

Then I moved away, and I wanted to stay

I had to say goodbye to the North

I thought to myself we won't be the same

But we never gave up our support

So we drove down the road 'round the bend past the houses we used to call home

Finding new hanging lights and landscaping, all the trees overgrown and misshapen

And we thought about how much we've changed, moved to cities and chasing new dreams

Having everything to fear, having nothing like our memories

'Cause we were two friends, but we felt like siblings

Separate by four months and a bunch of time zones and international phones

But we're still two friends, and we feel like siblings

And we swear that'll never change, we will always be here

'Cause we can't bike home anymore, but we'll always be here
