Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dear Marie, tell me what it was I used to be
Oh dear Marie, tell me what it was I used to be
And if you're further up the road, can you show me what I still can't see?
[Verse 2]
Remember me
I'm the boy you used to love when we were fifteen
Remember me
I'm the boy you used to love when you were fifteen
Now I wonder what you think when you see me in a magazine
[Verse 3]
From time to time
I go looking for your photograph online
From time to time
I go looking for your photograph online
Some county judge in Ohio is all I ever find
[Verse 4]
Dear Marie, tell me, do you still believe in me?
Oh dear Marie, tell me, do you still believe in me?
Well, I've got my dream but you've got a family
Yeah, I've got that dream but you've got yourself a family
Yeah, I've got that dream but I guess it got away from me
[Verse 5]
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
[Verse 6]
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
