Boy Scouts - You Were Once Lyrics

Once in a while
I would like to see you smile
But your numbers hard to dial
At the end of my free trial

Though now I've learned what it takes
To step right up to the plate
A feeling previously innate
Now leaves me feeling less than great

When they ask you if you miss her
Have you already thought of an adequate answer?
Say, "We were like a sticker
Permanent only for some patch of time"

Patch of time, you were once mine
You were once, mine
Patch of time, you were once mine
You were once

It was the year that I lost my friend
I knew I'd never be the same again
I know it now and I knew it then
There is only so much you can pretend

I guess with that in mind
You put all of your time in
Before depression would win
And you could no longer pretend
