Hey that’s the kid who lived next door
On the news they say he died in the war
I remember the days we’d play outside
Now he’s dead in a grave while I’m alive 

Hey that’s the girl who lived down the street
I remember when she had a crush on me
Now she stands on the corner selling herself
Just to live another day in her own hell 

Whoah (2x)
Funny how things turn out that way
Whoah (2x)
You never know how life’s gonna change 

I’ve been looking at my friends and it all seems crazy
Everybody seems like they’re giving up lately
Everything’s been lost in the fire
Everybody’s dreams turned to desires
I’ve been looking at myself and I seem no better
Better than my friend, my enemy, my brother
Lately I’m feeling lost in the fire
Lately all my dreams have turned to desires 

Hey that's the kid who I used to be
I wonder what he’d think if he could see
The person who I turned out to be today
What would he think? What would he say?

‘Cause some days I question if this is right
If this is what I wanted for my life
Would the kid I was be proud of me
Would he find humor in the irony 

Whoah (2x)
That’s the difference between me and you
Whoah (2x)
I find it funny when things end too soon.
