All My Friends

We were kids running through backstreets of a place we used to know

We'd waste away the days, and let those streetlights call us home

We got caught sneaking out and sipping on my Mum's cheap alcohol

Now all my friends are going places and having children of their own

Some have settled down and some are travelling through Rome

While I'm still making bad decisions and talking shit about

Someone I no longer know

I guess time was bound to change a thing or two

They've raised the price of houses on our avenue

I still see the boys from time to time

We drink and talk about how life just ain't the same

I don't waste the days like I used to do

Wishing I was somewhere down the line

And I can't slow this wheel, the more I'm trying to

The less I take it in my stride

'Cause all my friends are growing up and moving out

Of this town that we no longer know a thing about

I guess time takes all we've got

As i'm driving through this place, I barely recognise it

They're cutting down the trees and they're putting up high rises

I'm taking it all in and I'm trying hard to stay open minded

But all my friends are in their twenties, and I see it on their face

There's a price for growing up, it's one we're all bound to pay

That's the thing about those good old days, they're good and old

And they'll never be the same

I don't waste the days like I used to do

Wishing I was somewhere down the line

And I can't slow this wheel, the more I'm trying to

The less I take it in my stride

'Cause all my friends are growing up and moving out

Of this town that we no longer know a thing about

I guess time takes all we've got

You see, each one of us are holding on to youth

But life goes on and on and we're just passing through

Though I smile from ear to ear when I think of all the years and

What we've been through

But I don't waste the days like I used to do

Wishing I was somewhere down the line

And I can't slow this wheel, the more I'm trying to

The less I take it in my stride

'Cause all my friends are growing up and moving out

Of this town that we no longer know a thing about

I guess time takes all we've got
