lyrics

I have failed to keep you in my mind for so long
As I made my way through seasons long and strange
Sometimes it’s hard to tell the right from wrong
When you’re a million miles away and out of range
Like I was

My old friend and I in the back of a crowded bar
Passing back and forth a joke, a drink, and a smile
Now I’ve got no idea where you are
And I know that it’s my own thought my thoughts are piled
In a storm

Don’t forget me my old friend
Though the earth has turned again
I’ll be with you in the end
So don’t forget me my old friend

I’ve been stuck inside my head and in my life
And then the world has gone to hell in the meantime
Suddenly, the curtain pulled away
And I was saddled with a debt that I thought I’d paid
Some time ago

Now if you see me in the street and call my name
I’ll be distracted by the signals and the lights
The winds of change have blown and brought me here
Where I know someday I’ll blink and I’ll disappear
And I’ll be gone

But don’t forget me my old friend
Though the earth has turned again
I’ll be with you in the end
So don’t forget me my old friend

The child of a member of Snaex was in the class i was working in and that child told me about this band. I really really like it! It came to me at a time in my life where i needed its guidance. I love the writing, melodies and the arrangements are interesting. I hope to see SNAEX live! WRLD
