lyrics

nikki, where are you when i need you?
i miss you more than ever before
i saw your body in a casket wearing clothes i’ve never seen you in before

nik, you still believe in jesus?
like the way we did when we were kids?
yeah, i’m not sure if I still do, but i’m not sure I ever did

and i wonder if I could have helped you feel a little bit better
i thought that getting older would help you feel a little bit better

nikki, i could’ve been there for you
but i never know what to say
i guess that you must have been joking when you said that you were doing okay

nik, you still believe in jesus?
like the way we did when we were kids?
yeah, i’m not sure if I still do, but i’m not sure I ever did

and i wonder if I could have helped you feel a little bit better
i thought that getting older would help you feel a little bit better


when i was five we used to fight these made up aliens in our backyard
but you were a little older than me, and as we grew up, you told me that they didn’t exist anymore
that was when i first felt like i was getting old,
i couldn’t see all the magic in the world anymore

and we still remained close for a couple more years,
but slowly diverged in what we were interested
you stopped going to church
so i stopped going too
spent more time in your room alone
i didn’t think you were happy because you didn’t seem happy
but i didn’t know how to help

if i picked up the phone last friday right when you called in the middle of the night
it was weird and i didn’t know why you would call
plus, i was hanging out with friends i hadn’t seen in a while
but i should have picked up the phone
i should have picked up the phone
we could’ve talked, caught up and sorted things out
was i just scared, or did i just not care enough?

nikki, i’m sorry
nikki, i’m sorry
nikki, i’m sorry
nikki, i’m sorry
nikki, i’m sorry
nikki, i’m sorry
nikki, i’m sorry
nikki, i’m sorry
nikki, i’m sorry
nikki, i’m sorry
nikki, i’m sorry
