Old Skin

Yesterday I chanced upon your photograph

Black and grey, with your room painted white

Postered walls with Anthony Green's autograph

Looks like you finally met him, right? Right

Then I thought about how close we used to be

I'd come over, and your dogs seemed to agree

You were so good at deciphering me

But now I've no idea

I don't even see ya

Five years ago your walls were green

And on your shelf you had a photo of you when you were 16

And you never grew your hair back then

But now it's down to your shoulders

I don't miss you, but I wonder how you've been

'Cause I could hardly recognize you

Looking so brand new in your old skin

Yesterday I made it back down again

And I still replay, like a reel in my head

That one time we drove around town, and then

You told me that you're trying to get over her

Even though it has been

Five years ago your walls were green

And on your shelf you had a photo of you when you were 16

And we used to dream big, even then

But now we're just growing older

I don't miss you, but I wonder how you've been

'Cause I could hardly recognize you

Looking so brand new in your old skin

Your old skin, oh

And I know that you're just fine right where you are

Oh, I see glimpses from afar

No, I don't miss you, but I have to look away

Oh, it hurts seeing you okay

Yesterday I made it back down again

And I still replay (replay, replay, replay)
