All These Years

                                  One got addicted

And the other ran away

Some settled down a familiar place

One let's go of the wheel

While the other one steers

One got the money that the other put away

Some held their ground and the others couldn't stay

A few just followed their dreams while the others stood clear



After all these years

After all these years



One found religion and the other lost faith

One sold something that he never could replace

Both looked back to see if the coast was clear

One hits the bottle till his problems go away

The other never made it home from school that day

Sometimes I wish I could just disappear



After all these years

After all these years



It feels like some days that the sun never shines

I can't decipher all these riddles and rhymes

They're going down in flames

They're burning alive

I just can't take this anymore

One looked back at the past and I'm finally here

After all these years



One got addicted

And the other ran away

Some held around while the others couldn't stay

One let's go of the wheel

While the other one steers

After all these years

One found religion and the other lost faith

One sold something that he never could replace

After all these years

Both looked back to see if the coast was clear
