You've been gone too many years   you've seen so much, so young   but if you hang around too long   you lose your place in the sun   Waiting for another day   closer to that time   holding on to thoughts you gave me   hard to keep in mind   How long   can I see through it all   how long   can I see through it all   Getting back to good old times   soaring up old pasts   it's wearing thin to me old friend   I'd rather start again   How long   can I see through it all   how long   can I see through it all   Running around   drinking ?   everyone I make a memory from   foreign car, you go downtown   some things never change   do it again and again each week   everybody's gone another way   do it again but not with me   How long   can I see through it all   how long   can I see through it all   repeat
