Great Expectations

You look the same as I remember The same sad eyes, just a little more weathered We were silent watching the towers fall You could hear a pin drop in the 400 hall Watched your brother get busted for an eighth of weed With uppers in the glove box, downers in the backseat These days you can catch him driving around Looking like a stranger in his own hometown Looking like a stranger in his own hometown What happened to all our great expectations? When did we learn to live with all the doubt? What happened to all our great expectations, darling That everything would one day work itself out Everything would one day work itself out? Well the parties get worse when the faces stay the same So much has happened, so little has changed Well you begged me to stay when I held the door Said "no boys 'round here have manners anymore No boys 'round here have manners anymore" What happened to all our great expectations? When did we learn to live with all the doubt? What happened to all our great expectations, darling That everything would one day work itself out Everything would one day work itself out? "Anyways", you said, "don't be a stranger Just call if you visit your parents this winter We can get stoned and just drive around Looking like strangers in our own hometown Looking like strangers in our own hometown" What happened to all our great expectations? When did the days get too much to count? Was it all a dream while we were waiting For everything to one day work itself out Everything to one day work itself out Everything will one day, one day, one day Everything will one day work itself out
