From suburban homes in RSM To faithlessness and a punk rock band I didn't think it'd all go by so fast Community service and late night shows I'm not sure where my time goes I didn't think it'd all go by so fast It goes by so fast Go! So stay if you want Or you can just go My high self esteem's hit an all time low It seems once again That I've lost a friend My mind's in the red Here's what I said Where has everybody gone? They're missing out on all my songs I think I'm doing something wrong There's no one left to sing along Somewhere along the way I lost it, yeah 'Cause I didn't think it'd go by so fast I used to be first but now I'm last And I used to think that I had some class One second here, now it's all in the past 'Cause I didn't think it'd go by so fast If I was out there, I know I would not last And I used to think that I had some class One second here, now it's all in the past So hand me a pen I'll write down these words Put my thoughts on paper so you can be sure If it happens again You won't lose a friend With means to your ends Here's what I said Where has everybody gone? They're missing out on all my songs I think I'm doing something wrong There's no one left to sing along Maybe that's the way I want it, yeah yeah yeah 'Cause I didn't think it'd go by so fast I used to be first but now I'm last And I used to think that I had some class One second here, now it's all in the past 'Cause I didn't think it'd go by so fast If I was out there, I know I would not last And I used to think that I had some class One second here, now it's all in the past So look at me now What do you see? I'm everything I want to be Did I fail? Did I succeed? I didn't turn out perfectly I fought the bullshit I fought the smears I wrote these songs for my own ears That ticking clock's what I most fear We're out of time I'm sorry dear 'Cause I didn't think it'd go by so fast I used to be first but now I'm last And I used to think that I had some class One second here, now it's all in the past 'Cause I didn't think it'd go by so fast If I was out there, I know I would not last And I used to think that I had some class One second here, now it's all in the past 'Cause I didn't think it'd go by so fast I used to be first but now I'm last (I'm sorry, dear) And I used to think that I had some class One second here, now it's all in the past (I'm sorry, dear) 'Cause I didn't think it'd go by so fast If I was out there, I know I would not last (I'm sorry, dear) And I used to think that I had some class One second here, I'm sorry, dear
