You say that we can go years without speaking and it'll be the same
But when it isn't you act so surprised
Well I know the geography is challenging but even so
It's not my fault Massachusetts makes me want to die

Remember that time at Camp Aoun when I tried to leave
And when you stopped me I broke down and cried
Well this is why: every time I hear you laughing it always seems
That I'm just stuck on the outside

So sometimes I wonder if you forget that I exist
(Sometimes I wonder why)
Yeah, there's a reason I keep writing songs about this
(Sometimes I wonder if I matter to you)

You were my family but now you're leaving me behind for pastures green
(Send me a sign)
And now it's plain to see that I don't mean as much to you as you mean to me
(I'm trying to reach you)
And if we could go back to the early years we'd see this was always happening
(Am I still an earthling)
But I don't want to be the third to go

No, this is nothing new; I've been feeling this way since high school
When Erica told me I'd disappear off of the Earth
And I tried and I tried to make this work, but nearly a decade has gone by
And it still feels one-sided so I guess I overestimated what I was worth

"Well why didn't you say so? If you told us, we would have listened."
I hear you cry from the opposite shore
And I reply, this has happened twice before and both of those times
You made it clear that it was their problem not yours

So forgive me if I think you forgot I exist
(Sometimes I wonder why)
Yeah, there's a reason I keep writing songs about this
(Sometimes I wonder if I matter to you)

You were my family but now you're leaving me behind for pastures green
(Send me a sign)
And now it's plain to see that I don't mean as much to you as you mean to me
(I'm trying to reach you)
And now I have to ask was this always just a friendship of convenience
(Am I still an earthling)
And am I going to be the third to go?

You say you care but why am I the only one to reach out, reach out?
You say we're drifting but we could fix it if you'd only reach out, reach out
You say you love me but I won't believe it 'till you reach out, reach out
You say we're drifting, but who is the one who let that happen?

(Sometimes I wonder if I matter to you)
(Sometimes I wonder why)
And if you never see any more of me I don't feel like you'd care
(Send me a sign)
Did our friendship die as soon as it took time or was there never anything there?
(I'm trying to reach you)
You are my family but I don't mean as much to you as you mean to me
(Am I still and earthling)
I wish we could still be
But you don't put effort in me
So I guess that makes me the third to go
