Hey, old friend
What do you say, old friend?
Make it okay, old friend
Give the old friendship a break
Why so grim?
We're going on forever
You, me, him
Too many lives are at stake

Friends this long
Has to mean something's strong
So if our old friend's wrong
Shouldn't an old friend come through?
It's us, old friend
What's to discuss, old friend?
Here's to us
Who's like us-?

Damn few

Charley
Why can't it be like it was?
I liked it the way that it was
Charley
You and me, we were nicer then

We were nice
Kids and cities and trees were nice
Everything
I don't know who we are anymore
And I'm starting not to care

Look at us, Charley
Nothing's the way that it was
I want it the way that it was
Help me stop remembering then

Don't you remember?
It was good, it was really good
Help me out, Charley
Make it like it was

Come on
We both know it was better, Charley
You know, the three of us

And you come on
Mary, we are not the three of us any more
Now we are one and one and one

Charley
Nothing's the way that it was
I want it the way that it was
God knows, things were easier then
Trouble is, Charley
That's what everyone does:
Blames the way it is
On the way it was
On the way it never ever was

Jesus, Mary 
After all these years, you're still in love with the guy?

You gotta help save me then, Charley
