Lyrics
Old Friends
I'm goin' home
To see some old friends
So many years since we went our separate ways
And now it's time for us all again
To go back where we spent our younger days
I?m taking the day
To see some old friends
And talk about the good times we had
We know the scars we can open
And a couple of things better left unsaid
I?m leavin? today to see my old friends
There?ll be no one there who don?t belong
The circle there remains unbroken
Just the way it has for so long
I can?t wait
To see my old friends
We really shook it up
We really tore ?em up way back then
Ghost stories fade in the daylight
And lost chances never come again
I?m leavin? today to see my old friends
There?ll be no one there who don?t belong
The circle there remains unbroken
Just the way it has for so long
We used to think we?d live forever
When does the boy become the man?
Understanding who we were
Helps me see now who I am
Leavin? today
To see my old friends
So many years since we went our separate ways
Yes, and now it's time for us all again
To go back where we spent our younger days
I?m leavin? today to see my old friends
There?ll be no one there who don?t belong
The circle there remains unbroken
Just the way it has for so long ?.
Repeat twice?.
