Saw a girl that I used to know
I was deep in thought at the time
Didn't recognize her face at first
'Cause I was probably looking at mine
Yeah, but she was the only girl I've ever loved
But folks didn't dig us too much
I was young (young) serious (serious)
But this sure was the world (sure was the world now)
I thought I'd never live without her
But I got by
Saw a guy that I used to know
Man, he changed so much
Came in and said hello
Said hi before breaking his mouth
Yeah, but he was my best friend a few years ago
Well, I threw that ass out my phone
We were young (young) serious (serious)
We were gonna rule this whole world
Something happened, I don't know why it had
But that's the way that it goes
I suppose
What you said
What you do
Don't mean nothing, nothing at all now
Yeah, and all the flowers you laid between the gaps
Broken anytime you want now
Please tell me my philosophy's wrong
I got to know the truth
Don't mean to offend anyone
But you know something I do
Oh, so nice to see you tonight
I'm so glad that you came
Some people understand us, I say
Just feel the same
Yeah, my phone is in the right about way
Give it time, you don't always forget
'Cause the memory hangs like a shadow in the hall
To me they are everything
And all the iris will remind me
That the world will tear it all away
Yeah
