Checking In

We used to meet up at the lockers Now we're lucky if we squeeze in a few drinks on the holidays Weekends, playing soccer Now my friends all moved away and they're too busy for pick-up games And I know that the phone works both ways But maybe I'm just scared to confront how we all changed Had my head in the sand for so long where it felt safe That I just saw the sun for the first time in days Just checking in, hey, how you been? It's been too long, swear that I still exist I missed your call, it's no one's fault It was so much easier when we were kids So, just checking in (Just checking in) Heard you're getting married next month I remember when you met her, and you told me she was the one So thank you for the invite But I couldn't get away from work and I can't afford a flight And I know that the phone works both ways But maybe I'm afraid that it won't be like the old days Had my head in the sand for so long where it felt safe But I just saw the sun for the first time in days Just checking in, hey, how you been? It's been too long, swear that I still exist I missed your call, it's no one's fault It was so much easier when we were kids So, just checking in (Just checking in) The pendulum swings and the distance it brings Are you feeling it too? Or is it just me So I try to rewind to the place and the time where it all makes sense Tell me we're still friends Just checking in, hey, how you been? It's been too long, swear that I still exist I missed your call, it's no one's fault It was so much easier when we were kids Just checking in (The pendulum swings and the distance it brings) (Are you feeling it too, or is it just me?) Just checking in (so I try to rewind To the place and the time where it all makes sense) Just checking in
