Maybe we should just go outside
Clear our heads for a while
You left me on read again last night
I was spiraling til like 2
Now I'm thinking bout that time in high school
When everything felt so brand new
We used to walk around the neighborhood
Just talking bout whatever came to mind
Now we're adults with our complicated mess
And I miss when things were more kind

Saw your story, you were at that new place downtown
With people I don't even know
Remember when we'd get lost for hours
Now we can't even say hello
My feed's full of everyone moving on
Living their best life or whatever
But I'm still here wondering what went wrong
Guess some things don't last forever

So let's go for a walk
Let's go for a walk
Like we used to do

My mom keeps asking why you don't come around
I just shrug and change the subject quick
Cause how do I explain we're not the same
And friendship isn't something you can fix
But maybe if we take it slow this time
Start over from the very start
Walking side by side might help us find
Whatever's left inside our hearts

Let's go for a walk, walk, walk
Leave the drama behind
Let's go for a walk, walk, walk
Clear our heads and unwind
No phones, no stress, no expectations
Just us and conversation
Let's go for a walk, walk, walk
Maybe we'll be fine

The park looks different in the afternoon light
Everything's changed but stayed the same
Like us I guess, we're older now but still
Playing these complicated games
I miss the version of us from before
When everything was less intense
Before we learned to overthink it all
Before we built up all these walls and fence

Remember when we'd walk for miles
Just to avoid going home
Now we can't even cross the street
Without feeling so alone
But something bout this autumn air
Makes me think we might be okay
If we just keep putting one foot
In front of the other today

Your shoes are still the same brand you always wore
Some things never really change
Even when the world feels upside down
The little things help us arrange
Our thoughts in some kind of order
Make sense of all this chaos
Walking helps me remember who we were
Before everything got so awkward between us

So let's go for a walk
Let's go for a walk
Like we used to do
Let's go for a walk
Let's go for a walk
Me and you

The sun's getting lower in the sky now
But I don't want this to end
Cause for the first time in forever
I feel like I got back my friend
Not the Instagram version or the fake smiles
Just you being real with me
Walking proves that some connections
Don't need technology

So next time when things get complicated
And we don't know what to say
Maybe we should just lace up our sneakers
And walk the hurt away
Cause walking's like a reset button
For heart
