in AlbumDookie

I saw my friend the other day

And I don't know

Exactly just how he became

It goes to show

It wasn't that long ago

I was just like you

And now I think I'm sick

And I wanna go home

How have I been how have you been

It's been so long

What have you done with all your time

And what went wrong

I knew you back when

And knew

And now I think you're sick

And I wanna go home

Anybody ever say no

Ever tell you that you weren't right

Where did all the little kid go

Did you lose it in a hateful fight

And you know it's true

It wasn't that long ago

I was just like you

And now I think I'm sick

And I wanna go home
