"Congratulations And Condolences" lyrics

I remember riding back in 95 in that rusted out
Whatever you were driving and the sky was open wide and we had nowhere to be

And now the years do what they do
And I'm trying to keep up on you though the status on the screen
But I can't see you between the zeros and

Once we didn't have to try
Now I wonder what you'd see
If you looked me in the eye
How did we become friends like this
Congratulations and condolences

I can't recall falling out just a slow burn and shade of doubt
But I'm hoping we stay close without the task of catching up

And I hear you're doing awful well
And I'll try to understand and tell ya
I'm proud of your success and stuff
But it feels more like just fuck off

Once we didn't have to try
Now I wonder if you'd know me
If you looked me in the eye
How did we become friends like this
Congratulations and condolences

I forget the way you used to tell me to drive fast and take chances
How we filled the days with endless searching with no need for answers

Maybe I'll reach out to you
And feign a bit familiarity
All the reminiscing just stirs up remorse with the memories

Once we didn't have to try
Now I wonder what you'd see
If you looked me in the eye
How did we become friends like this
Congratulations and condolences

When I could use your strength to lift me up
Cause fallen into a lack of love

But if pity guilt and burden compel you
Then keep the sentiments as well
The distant concern and conjured
Words feel like fraud and empty gestures

Once we didn't have to try
Now I wonder what you'd see
If you looked me in the eye
How did we become friends like this
Congratulations and condolences
