It's difficult to say when it began That little feeling when I held your hand But it's been too long It's been too long June, came the yellow wedding day The sun reflected off that Michigan spray That day's long gone That day's long gone We said that we'd always be friends But happy's not the way most stories end And although this isn't quite what I expected I stand corrected These apparitions of our happy past Like anything, they cannot truly last They're not lifelines They're not lifelines But there will come a day I'll understand I'll look to you with an extended hand My grip will be strong I'll be so strong We said that we would always be friends I'm letting out a new and better end And truly this is what I first expected We're still connected
