Long Lost Friends
Transit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is not the person I used to know
You're not the person I used to know
So go on, go on
Go on
Because lately you've been looking at me like you've seen a ghost
I just wish that you had called, cause I would have said it all
I just wish that you had called, cause I would have said it all
Oh I never was a man of man words
Mostly when they mattered most
Mostly when you mattered most
So go on, go on
Go on
Because lately you've been looking at me like you've seen a ghost
And isn't it obvious who's been missing who the most (missing who at all)
I just wish you had called, cause I would have said it all
I just wish you had called, cause I would have said it all
In my dreams you run back to me (my long lost friend)
Isn't it amazing in this world that anyone can love anyone at all?
Anyone at all
Lately you've been looking at me like you've seen a ghost
And isn't it obvious who's been missing who the most
I just wish that you had called cause I would have said it all
I just wish that you had called cause I would have said it all
The lyrics in Transit's song "Long Lost Friends" seem to depict a person who encounters someone they used to know, but throughout time that person has changed into someone completely different. The first stanza talks about how long they have to say that this isn't the person they used to know, and the following line bluntly states that "you're not the person I used to know." The person singing feels that the other person has been looking at them lately like they've seen a ghost and questions who's been missing who the most. They express that they wish the other person had called so they could have said everything on their mind.
The second stanza reflects on the singer's use of words and how they were never a person of many words, and now they regret not using their words to communicate their feelings in the past. The final stanza talks about how the singer dreams of the other person running back to them and how it's amazing that anyone can love anyone at all in this world. They end with the same sentiment as before, stating they wish the other person had called, so they could have said everything they needed to.
Overall, the song seems to express regret and longing for the past and the person they used to know. The lyrics indicate a yearning to reconnect while acknowledging that time has changed them both.

I went to school with some of these guys and I remember Transit playing in my high school talent shows. They've come so far since then and it's pretty sick.

Rest easy Tim. You've influenced many more people you could've imagined.
