At its core, this song is a conversation with the shadows—the ones that linger after someone leaves, and the ones that live inside us. It’s an exploration of the spaces between connection and absence, where love morphs into longing, and hope into a quiet, unresolved question. The refrain is simple, but the weight behind it is profound: "Will you be my friend?" A question as much for the other as it is for oneself—seeking comfort, perhaps even from the ghost of who we used to be. The song follows the fragments of a relationship that seem to dissolve like morning mist, elusive and untouchable, yet the memory lingers in each breath, in each step outside, in every sip taken to numb the edges of reality. The door slams, the keys vanish, and yet the heart stays rooted, tethered to the belief that the return is inevitable. Maybe it’s not about the other person at all. Maybe the song is about finding a way back to oneself after all that’s been lost. A cycle of breaking and mending, asking and answering, loving and losing—again and again, until we’re ready to walk out into the sun.
