All of My Friends

Echoes of loneliness

Bouncing round the concrete jungle

All of my friends left the city

Now it's empty as a bottle

Never bet I'd end up like this

Forgotten like last year's model

All of my friends left the city

And I really shoulda followed

But I got caught in my bullshit

Took me a little bit

Longer to grow up I guess

Stuck here stayin' in one place

Time slippin' away

Never thought to leave the nest

All I wanted

Was time to stand completely still

Was that too much to ask for?

Was that too much to ask for?

Frozen like a photograph

Oh I wish we could have stayed like that

Was that too much to ask for?

Cause I don't know this city anymore

We used to run this town

The cool kids of Sunset Boulevard

All of my friends left the city

For the suburbs and a backyard

And every bar that we used to haunt

Got torn down and covered with parking lots

Now I'm just a ghost

Wondering where'd everyone go?

Yeah I'm here watching the tumbleweeds

Tumblin' past me

Thought I was a rolling stone

But I got stuck in the quicksand

And unmade plans

Forgotten what it's like to roam

All I wanted

Was time to stand completely still

Was that too much to ask for?

Was that too much to ask for?

Frozen like a photograph

I wish we could have stayed like that

Was that too much to ask for?

Cause I don't know this city anymore
