We used to meet up at the lockers

Now we're lucky if we squeeze in a few drinks on the holidays

Weekends, playing soccer

Now my friends all moved away and they're too busy for pick-up games

And I know that the phone works both ways

But maybe I'm just scared to confront how we all changed

Had my head in the sand for so long where it felt safe

That I just saw the sun for the first time in days

Just checking in, hey, how you been?

It's been too long, swear that I still exist

I missed your call, it's no one's fault

It was so much easier when we were kids

So, just checking in

(Just checking in)

Heard you're getting married next month

I remember when you met her, and you told me she was the one

So thank you for the invite

But I couldn't get away from work and I can't afford a flight

And I know that the phone works both ways

But maybe I'm afraid that it won't be like the old days

Had my head in the sand for so long where it felt safe

But I just saw the sun for the first time in days

Just checking in, hey, how you been?

It's been too long, swear that I still exist

I missed your call, it's no one's fault

It was so much easier when we were kids

So, just checking in

(Just checking in)

The pendulum swings and the distance it brings

Are you feeling it too? Or is it just me

So I try to rewind to the place and the time where it all makes sense

Tell me we're still friends

Just checking in, hey, how you been?

It's been too long, swear that I still exist

I missed your call, it's no one's fault

It was so much easier when we were kids

Just checking in

(The pendulum swings and the distance it brings)

(Are you feeling it too, or is it just me?)

Just checking in

(so I try to rewind

To the place and the time where it all makes sense)

Just checking in
