Where have you been?
All these wasted years?
Can we meet again?
And bust out the cheers?
It’s a crime,
It ended like this.
An evil way to go,
It got me really pissed.

Where have I been?
In all these wasted years?
I have been so down all the time,
Smoking my cigarettes and drinking my beers.
If there’s one thing I need,
It’s for us to pal around.
Should we go home?
Or go to town?

I left without a goodbye,
Sometimes I still wonder why.
No hugs or handshakes,
I just walked out for God’s sake!
I’m coming to your home,
I hope I’m not alone.
Tell me you’ll be there so I won’t be in tears,
So I can make up those wasted years.

Hey man,
What have you been up to?
Have you been living a dream?
Or grieving like I do?
Everyday has been a battle for me,
And I’m in glass shears.
I’ve been out of my way,
Trying to relive those wasted years.

So tell me again,
Where have you been?
Did you stay here all along?
So I can go to you again?
I still need that one thing,
To stop by and let out those cheers.
Tell me you’ll be there,
And make up those wasted years.

For those people who long for the good old days, this is for you. It's about my old friends and how i want to see them again.
