Lyrics

What's that you say?
I knew you when?
You don't look too much like my friend
Those history books
Filled up with crooks
Stories I don't want to hate again
Cause I learned to live, but they try to hold me here
When I think of you now, it just brings me down
When I think of you now
When I think of you now, it just brings me down
When I think of you now
I'm keeping time
One day goes by
I try to live til the next one
But those history books
Filled with haunted looks
People who I don't want to see again
Cause I learned to live, one thousand years from here
When I think of you now, it just brings me down
When I think of you now
When I think of you now, it just brings me down
When I think of you now
Just reminds me of the
Nights of smoke and dirty jokes
Darkened rooms and lonely ghosts
They were beautiful some time ago
But time keeps rollin' us on
When I think of you now, it just brings me down
When I think of you now
When I think of you now, it just brings me down
When I think of you now
Just reminds me of the
Nights of smoke and dirty jokes
Darkened rooms and lonely ghosts
And they were beautiful some time ago
But time keeps rollin' us on
Rollin' us on, rollin' us on
