Story Behind The Song

Triggered from a phone call from an old friend

Song Description

Wondering your long lost friends have gone to and if they were successful in life or not.

Lyrics

Been sitting here with you
For a long time now
Wandering where the rest of us
Ended up anyhow

I remember Simone
Always got her life in a mess
She really wanted it all
But those guys treated her less
Than she deserved
I hope she got away
And found somebody nice
And a nice place to stay

Hanging out with Gary
We rode our bikes so fast
I?ll never forget that fall
Funny how the scars are the ones that last
We lost touch
I wander if he found out where Shane was

Here?s to absent friends
To the ones that got it together in the end
And to the ones we?ll never see again
As time goes by so fast
In front of you and me

Richard called me up
A little while ago
Says he?s stuck in the U.K
In a job that?s slowly icing his soul
Pretty soon he?s gonna get out of town
It?s more than just the weather
That brings him down

Meanwhile Paul is a doctor
And it won?t break his will
Working overtime in a Chelsea hospital
He?s in love with a girl
Who?s the greatest person in the world
And despite the weather
They?re hoping to make it last forever

Here?s to absent friends
To the ones that got it together in the end
And to the ones we?ll never see again
As time goes by so fast
In front of you and me


Oh, do we spend so much time alone
Oh, back then we spent it on the phone
Oh, the rain never comes down slow
Yes, we are older now
I hope you?re happy someway, somehow

Here?s to absent friends
To the ones that got it together in the end
And to the ones we?ll never see again
As time goes by so fast
In front of you and me

Been sitting here with you
For a long time now
Wandering where the rest of us
Ended up anyhow
