Lyrics
I shoulda savored the time we had Savored the moments that you made me laugh and Lived like an animal Never thinking of the future Never in another world Wish I could see you again How I wish I could see you again I carried your talisman into the bonfire In Kyoto on the hill Not sure if I did it right Will you please forgive me if didn't? I walked by our dorm room They painted all the doors and Covered up the dents we made No sign of the days we spent Practicing, dreaming of what we could become What we did become I coulda savored the time we had Savored the moments that you made me laugh and Lived like an animal Never thinking of the future Never in another world Wish I could see you again How I wish I could see you again Maybe I will I hope I will I never will But maybe I will Oh I hope I will I probably will I wish I could see you again How I wish I could see you again Maybe I will I hope I will I never will But maybe I will Oh I hope I will I probably will Wish I could see you Ooo I wish I could see you again Maybe I will I hope I will I never will But maybe I will Oh I hope I will I probably will
Content
Track eleven on I. Luke's note: for many friends he has lost on the journey of life. Not one breakup song, not a plot twist, but a song for people who drifted, died, moved away, or became unreachable while you were still becoming.
The regret comes without drama (shoulda savored, never in another world) and the wish is plain. The question mark in the title matters. Around it run two images of memory out of sync with place: a talisman carried into a bonfire on a Kyoto hill, not sure if I did it right, and a dorm room repainted, the dents you made covered over. The bridge refuses a clean answer, cycling maybe I will / I hope I will / I never will until hope and impossibility sit in the same mouth.
Released ahead of the LP as a single. Apple Music splits credits the way the entity layer should: Luke Walton, songwriter, Scoobert Doobert: producer, with Riley Knapp mastering: platforms already know pieces of the truth; this site is the canonical human-readable version.
On an album full of u and motion, this is the track that stops for who isn't here anymore. See also: Catalog.
