lyrics

I made my first friend in a clinic
He never really had a choice
Now we live in different cities and we’re happy
But I miss hearing his voice

There were five of us at Ali’s
Writing songs and planning shows
Filled our Saturdays with noise and games of footy
We still play, just on our own

Who we are keeps evolving
Who we were fades away in the end
Friends we knew plot a map to the present
All we are is memories and bones

I don't see any one from school now
I guess that life got in the way
Sometimes wonder if I'd be another person
Question what he'd have to say

Who we are keeps evolving
Who we were fades away in the end
Friends we knew plot a map to the present
All we are is memories and bones

I'm haunted by the ghosts of who I'd be
If I'd been cast in other people's scenes
I am who I am because of who I choose to see

I met my best friend in a choir
It’s funny how the time has gone
5 years later and I'm still buying her flowers
But now the vase is in our home

Who we are keeps evolving
Who we were fades away in the end
Friends we knew plot a map to the present
All we are is memories and bones
All we are is memories and bones
