I hadn't seen you in so long I didn't know you changed the color of your hair And I knew it had to happen someday but there's no way I could really be prepared There was music there were lights Across the street a laundromat had stayed open all night And a thousand angry angels took to the air We stood there talking so detached and not to glance up [and remember] each other's eyes And all the songs sounded the same and they gave names to every different kind of lie It was the standard dishonesty Secrets we decided we should keep And things we wouldn't admit to save our lives I said there's nothing else at all because you had the gall to ask me how I felt And you laughed like you were drunk but not on wine but someone drunk on someone else And in you I saw the past, concerned with nothing but holding hands and lying in the grass And I could tell in me you only could see yourself And now your friends and your parents They'll see you and they'll ask you how I've been They're just making conversation But you know you won't be seeing me again So you smile and pretend not to hear them Ahhhhhhhhhh
