Since '85

lyrics

Since ‘85

We go way back you and me
ever since elementary.
Public pool with our shirts on
fighting with our squirt guns-
never say die since ‘85.

A couple losers you and I,
your folks had problems and so did mine.
We lit a fire in the alley
with our homework after graduation.
Have you ever felt so free?

Remember you’re a little child,
You stuck it out a while.
Twenty or so years go by
I don’t even know this guy.
You can fake it all you like
But you’re still a kid inside.

It’s such and act acting serious,
and I’m so bored I’m delirious.
I just want to cruise the lake
like we used to and get baked in my car.
Bring some CDs and a Black and Mild.

Remember you’re a little child,
You stuck it out a while.
Twenty or so years go by
I don’t even know this guy.
You can fake it all you like
But you’re still a kid inside.

Sorry I’ve been so out of touch.
I only see you when we’re fucked up.
Sorry I never sent a note back,
I’m insecure, I felt attacked,
Faking our way through this grownup shit.

Remember you’re a little child,
You stuck it out a while.
Twenty or so years go by
I don’t even know this guy.
You can fake it all you like
But you’re still a kid inside.
