you didn't have to go so far.

Was it really so long ago
we were taking photographs
of each other in our winter pageant clothes
skipping school going home
running for shelter from a sudden thunderstorm
kissing raindrops on your nose

what part did I play
in making you the way you are
what more can I say to convince you
you didn't have to go so far
you didn't have to go so far

you may as well live a universe away now
I'll probably never see you again
I wonder where you went
where do you go what do you see
and do you ever think of me
and California
and all that time we spent

what part did I play
in making you the way you are
what more can I say to convince you
you didn't have to go so far
you didn't have to go so far
