Old friend of mine, voice of a pop star, pretty face, mind for the future. she had a lot to give man, a lot get's better, i feel a little time would'a let her. travel in [bad word] take your heart away. white lies from a white book. so [bad word] around here with a smart suit jacket, if i don't listen won't learn, can't have it. 

Old friend of mine. well if i don't listen wont learn. 

See now she wakes up, with a ring on her finger, baby on her lap and a man down beside her. her friends thought wait. your doing this early. you got years til your thirty! i knew it was too late, you got the forms filled out, now your names in the paper. another medal in the cabinet. for better or worse, part of the family 

Take me back, to the day, when we were. 
Take me back, please, to the day, when we were good. 

So take a look a bit further, find some faith in yourself, there's a prayer house in my home town, if i felt it could help it could be found. i don't wana confide, don't need a new lesson, don't wana let it out, we all get down. i heard a lot better, i heard a lot worse. 
can you feel it.
