  • I can still find Wiley's house
    Riding on my bike with eyes closed
    I could name every girl that he took out
    And from my memory, dial his house phone

    Can you take me back when we were just kids
    Who weren't scared of getting older? (yeah, yeah)
    'Cause no one knows you like they know you
    And no one probably ever will
    You can grow up, make new ones
    But truth is there's nothing like old friends
    'Cause you can't make old friends (mm, yeah)

    I can still feel the windows down
    Listening to Jimmy Eat World
    Riding 3-wide on Blake's bench seat (yeah)
    My God, it's been ten years now
    I would have his back tomorrow
    And he'd still fight anyone who tried to touch me

    Can you take me back when we were just kids
    Who weren't scared of getting older? (yeah, yeah)
    'Cause no one knows you like they know you
    And no one probably ever will
    You can grow up, make new ones
    But truth is there's nothing like old friends

    'Cause you can't make old friends

    And I've got some good friends now
    But I've never seen their parents' back porch
    I wouldn't change how things turned out
    But there's no one in this time zone
    Who knows what inline skates that I wore

    Can you take me back when we were just kids
    Who weren't scared of getting older?
    'Cause no one knows you like they know you
    And no one probably ever will
    You can grow up, make new ones
    But the truth is
    That we grow up, then wish we could go back then
    There's nothing like old friends
    'Cause you can't make old friends Writer/s: Benjamin Rector
