lyrics
I wanna meet some new friends.
With old memories 'cos I can't start again.
Want some new faces and new names.
But I'm way too tired for old stories to explain.
So we'll sit around in bars.
Shooting shit and drinking jars.
But I'll find myself a whole new coterie.
I drove three states in two days.
Just to turn around and go back home again.
Slept in the car on my way.
Dreamed that I went under some suburban train.
Somewhere somebody you see.
Oh is breaking up with me.
And I've come too far not to pass the test.
Let's make a quick getaway.
When everybody has their faces turned.
I wanna lose my place.
And find that i've got nowhere to return.
Living in two worlds at once.
Tried my best but like a dunce.
I just couldn’t play both parts and so I failed.
I wanna meet some new friends.
