I am the oldest boy I know
Either that, or the youngest man everywhere I go
To all of you: I'm happy that we met
Some of you I will remember, and some I will forget
Like a dream I used to know
I used to know
But I hope we stay in touch real soon
Grab a drink and talk about all the things we plan to do
But if we don't I guess it won't... it won't matter much at all
Missed opportunities have a tendency to fall
Out of mind... like a dream I used to know
I used to know
But won't you sing my songs even if you can't sing my praises?
Just a couple of phrases so they won't go to waste
And you may not miss opportunities, and you may not miss my face
But when you're out there on your own
You're gonna miss this place
Late nights we would spend together, and we were never, never alone
We would sing and we would shout, and these hallowed walls would echo
And we wouldn't leave till we were through
Every note I ever wrote... I gave it all to you
