rainy day song

Tell your mom you need a day off
so we can play out in the rain
we’ll catch a ride to the mall
go down to the arcarde
cause that’s where all the cool kids play

tell your mom you need a day off
cause I dont feel like school today
we’ll ride our boards down the hill
and to the playground
where everythings ok

tell your mom we will be home late
cause building cabins in the woods is hard work

you always know that I’ll be there
Cause I’m the type, and you’ll be near
my closest friend, we’ll always be
You are a hometown kid like me

Tell your mom to make us lunch now
cause we worked up an appetite
G.I. Joes and karate matches in the back yard
where everything’s alright

now I can see that things have changed
we’ve gone our seperate ways now

and it’s not you and me
anymore, whoa…

why can’t it be the way it was
when they were us…
my closest friends have turned and fled
you are a million miles away

and I guess I’ll hold my breath
(there is no harm in hoping for change)
and I guess I’ll hold my breath
(there is no harm in hoping for change)
and I guess I’ll hold my Breath
(there is no harm in hoping for change)
And I guess I’ll hold my breath…

I shed just a few tears on the bus the other day, on my way home from work.  I had this song playing on my MP3 player, and really began to miss Andrea.  This is definitely the way I’ve been feeling about her lately.  God, I mean the miles between us have been extreme for the last 2 years but I feel more distant from her now than I did even 6 months ago.  I don’t know what’s happened between us.  She promised to call on my birthday (in March)..and then didn’t.  She promised to call me "sometime this week"..  It’s Thursday.  I haven’t heard a thing.  I feel like I’ve done something wrong, like she’s angry at me or maybe she’s upset that I haven’t been home to visit yet.  I know I’ve changed as a person, but she has too and it’s not like her to just ignore her friends like that.  We’re not kids anymore, we’ve both grown up but I would have thought she’d at least try to keep what we had.  We were like sisters.  There are times lately, when I feel like I could have better conversations with a brick wall… That is when I do actually get to chat with her.  When she turns up on MSN, I’m always the one who has to initiate the conversation.  I realise that may sound childish, but when someone you’ve been friends with for 20 years won’t even take 5 minutes to say "hello" and ask how you’ve been it can be a little bit upsetting.  She’s always "off to drop off applications" (for what, I don’t know seeing as she’s already decided where she wants to work this year and isn’t going to grad school until next year.)  Or if not that, then "Doug’s over."  Doug being the boyfriend, who I’ve met only through online chat and must admit does not seem to be the most pleasant person to talk to.  Anyways, I don’t know what else to say on the subject..other than, I really miss her.  I’d love to talk to her about it, but I don’t know what to say.  Where does one start, exactly?  Maybe I’ll call her.

Later all.
