It's been twelve years and
How many days since
We were at my parents' house
Back in this godforsaken town where
The street still look the same
With changed names where
The buildings fall and the histories faded
As our memories erased
The friends I used to call mine
Gave up on city lights
Bought a land in god knows where
In a new country with a quiet life
The friends I used to call mine
Our early teenage years spent
Hot summer days in
Your room at your parents' house
Back when we used to love this town where
The lady at the lo mein shop
Had changed hands where
We fell asleep by the TV screen
At the overnight karaoke with
The friends I used to call mine
Hung up on city life
Bought a shoebox on the outskirt with their
Three jobs, barely surviving
The friends I used to call mine
The friends I used to call mine
Tell me how you've been
How's life?
How is him?
Are you happy still?
After all these years
Who is new?
Who has changed?
Are you happy still?
The friends I used to call mine
Shut their doors and cut their ties
Sold their dreams for the pennies and spent their dimes in
An old city with a vacant life
Tell me how you've been?
After all these years
