Roots
Spunge Lyrics

You're the kid from down the street
You are the person who used to live in our neighborhood

The one we used to greet
The one whom we used to acknowledge and salute

And we're glad that it turned out good
We are delighted that your life has gone well

We're pleased that you've done well
We are gratified that you have achieved success

But maybe you could tell
However, it would be great if you informed us

Us, in person, like real friends should
Us, in a face-to-face meeting, as actual friends would do

Because it doesn't take that much
Because it does not require much effort or time

And then you find you're out of touch
Otherwise, you may realize you have lost contact

With the people that you called friends
With the people you used to consider your friends

So maybe now it's time
Therefore, it may be the apt moment

To should drop them all a line, yeah
To send them a message or text, yes

It's time to make amends
It is the event to repair relationships or address past wrongs

You shouldn't take it for granted
You should not assume it will always be there

The roots that you planted will be fine
The relationships that you built will survive

You should make it a mission
It would be best if you made it a priority

To go back and check from time to time....
To revisit your past and check on your old friends regularly

Break out
Be free and enjoy life

play about
Have some fun and enjoy oneself

But don't leave out
But do not exclude or forget

People where you started it from x2
The friends who were a part of your beginning, repeat twice

It didn't take that much
It does not demand one to make any significant effort

To say you'd keep in touch
To tell someone that you will remain in contact

But how many people do?
However, several people do not keep their promise

They're the one's who got you there
They are the people who helped you reach your success

Does it mean you have to care
Does that imply that you have to care?

I guess that bit's up to you
I suppose that is a matter of personal decision

But they're the best days of your life
But they are the finest memories of your existence

The time you learn your wrongs from right
The time when one discriminates between what is right and wrong

No money can buy you those
These memories are priceless and cannot be bought

So hold on to your past
So hold onto your memories and your old friends

You gotta make those friendships last
You need to sustain those relationships

Coz the good time comes and goes
Because the good times are fleeting and do not last forever

Growing up
Maturing and becoming an adult

Getting old
Growing older

Don't wanna be
Do not desire to be

left In the cold
Left out in the cold, metaphorically used for feeling rejected

A different place
An alternate location

A newer face
A new and unfamiliar face/person

You're sinking fast
You are rapidly losing your good friends

Without a trace
Without leaving any signs or clues

It only takes
It only requires

A little while
A short amount of time

To call 'em up
To give your old friends a phone call

And make 'em smile....
And make them happy by contacting them

OI!
An expression to grab attention
