It almost felt like home The closest I've ever known I always was alone In the city But no one ever tried They might as well have died They kept it all inside It was a pity I had to get out I had to see a new town The few who heard me shout I knew they would follow I heard the call on the wind A new life to begin The one I had grew thin And so hollow I wish I Could tell you why But you want my stupid lies But this time I will try You won't like it but it's alright Of course I'll miss them all All the nights so long We'd stay up and talk About anything I felt it growing I saw it glowing But now knowing About anything ... Cuz life is just too short To wait it out anymore Fuck moving to the shore And dying of cancer You ask me why I go I ask why you say no Neither one of us know And that's the answer My friends remain awake My friends stay in place My friends complain of fakes My friends make escapes My friends gain weight My friends get in shape My friends exchange rates And entertain fate My friends disdain hate My friends play games My friends gain patience Engaged participants in the great game of waiting To make great parents I'm sure they'll make great parents They'll make great parents someday But I don't understand how they're sleeping so soundly My mind is bombarded by thoughts all around me I'm hot and I'm cold and my heart keeps on pounding A flurry of worries have finally found me But no manic panic can trample my hopes I know where I am and I know where to go I've been through much worse and worse yet awaits But finally now I can laugh at my fate The bus is nearly empty And the lights are all off The road rumbles deep And the road rumbles soft I have friends to meet Amphetamine dreams are all but long gone I have friends I can't wait to see I think I'll write them a song
