Hey kid, did you know? Today sixteen years ago It was you and I for the last time You angrily said With a smoke ring 'round your hands You would see me on the other side Come on, I know you want more Come on, and open your door After it all you'll find out You were always one of us Act like you don't remember You said we'd live forever Who do you think you're kiddin'? You were only one of us In time When you come to mind Disappear a thousand times Keep me hanging on to the old life Well, I've gotta go Maybe see you down the road Won't you tell the kid I said goodbye? Come on, I know you want more Come on, and open your door After it all you'll find out You were always one of us Act like you don't remember You said we'd live forever End up at the beginning You were only one of us In time In In Come on, I know you want more Come on, and open your door After it all you'll find out You were always one of us Act like you don't remember You said we'd live forever End up at the beginning You were only one of us In time (It's a shame, a shame) (We thought you'd change, my friend) (But you were always one of us) (It's a shame, a shame) (We thought you'd change, my friend) (But you were always one of us) (It's a shame, a shame) (We thought you'd change, my friend)
