Ring Me, We'll Pick It Up Where It Stopped

Lyrics

I found your number in a drawer, inside a faded book
Beside a photograph of us from some forgotten spring
My thumb was hovering a while, afraid to take a look
At all the years between us and the silence they could bring

But I pressed it, and it rang
And I heard you say hello

Ring me, we'll pick it up where it stopped
Like no time passed at all
Ring me, we'll laugh about the things we dropped
And lift them if they fall
Old friends are made of patience and a thread that will not break
Ring me, we'll pick it up where it stopped
For the old times' sake

We talked until the kettle cooled, we talked until it's late
You said the same old joke of mine and I could hear you grin
It's strange how fast the distance goes when someone lifts the gate
And the door we thought was closing was a door to walk back in

And we pressed it, and it rang
And we both said hello

Ring me, we'll pick it up where it stopped
Like no time passed at all
Ring me, we'll laugh about the things we dropped
And lift them if they fall
Old friends are made of patience and a thread that will not break
Ring me, we'll pick it up where it stopped
For the old times' sake

Years are only pages
And pages can be turned
Some friendships are like candles
That wait to be relearned

Ring me, we'll pick it up where it stopped
Sing it loud and clear
Ring me, we'll gather every year we lost
And hold them close and near
Old friends are made of patience and a thread that will not break
Ring me, we'll pick it up where it stopped
For the old times' sake

Ring me, ring me
Pick it up where it stopped
