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

Track eleven on [*I*](/albums/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](https://music.apple.com/gb/song/see-you-again/1734387742) 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](/catalog/).

[**Lou Roy**](/with/lou-roy/), background vocals.
