see you again?

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
For friends lost along the way: savor what you had, carry the talisman, wonder if you'll see them again: maybe, probably, never know.

Track eleven on I. The DistroKid credit pane lists music and lyrics as Luke Francis Walton, BMI 00579587572. Producer, mixing, recording, drums, bass, guitar, synthesizer, and singing are billed as Scoobert Doobert. Lou Roy is on background vocals. Riley Knapp mastered it. 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 credits Luke Walton as songwriter and Scoobert Doobert as producer, with Riley Knapp mastering.
