This song was written for my friend Amanda; I believe I wrote a small EP of them to give to her for her birthday, possibly her 16th, but this was the only one I saved. The story in the first verse is true; for years she harbored guilt on account of some mild bullying she gave me in elementary school due to me dropping out of a “gifted student” program that I found excessively torturous. I did not retain her words at all, and was thoroughly confused when I received an anonymous apology note in middle school. By high school we were both in marching band, discussing the “Twilight” series while we waited for the third installment to drop, and developing a lifelong friendship. I’ll be seeing her and Degnan on Tuesday to catch up on “Severance”. No one has a beard yet.

Lyrics:
Do you remember the first time I forgot where we first met?
I don't remember so I'll have to go by what you say
we were on a bus and you called me a wimp and walked away
I quickly forgot that you existed and we met that day
Now we are ancient and our beards reach to the floor
'cept you don't have a beard because you are a woman
and I don't have a beard cause I'm too young to grow one
but your hair's long and so is mine so we shall have fun
