Kai and LB take a selfie together in front of an airplane.
I was just a kid. You had gone to 'Nam.
You seemed to have an answer, something to say.
I listened to your story. I listened to your song.
I listened to your wisdom, then I found my own.

It all felt so right to me. Where did we go wrong?

Now, thirty years have passed. There's been a lot of rain.
I survived the earthquake, you the hurricane.
We dreamed a dream together. I carried on alone.
And you got left behind. Somehow.

It all worked out so right for me. Where did you go wrong?

I'd like to share with you—if I only could.
There'd be nothing left to hide, nothing left to prove.
So, let's face the music now.
Letting go of you is the hardest thing
I've ever had to do.

All those years I held you up
Now I've let you down.
I've let you down.
