0:13Saw a girl that I used to know
0:15I was deep in thought at the time
0:18Don't recognise the face at first
0:20'Cause I was probably looking at mine
0:23Well she was the only girl I've ever loved
0:25But my folks didn't dig her so much
0:27I was young
0:28It was serious
0:30To me she was the world
0:31(she was my world now)
0:33I thought I'd never live without her
0:35But I got by in time
0:38Well let me tell you now
0:39Saw a guy that I used to know
0:41Man he'd changed so much
0:44I think it hurt him to say hello
0:46'Cause he hardly opened his mouth
0:49Yeah well he was my best friend
0:50A few years ago
0:52Truly inseperable
0:54We were young
0:55And full of ideals
0:56We were gonna rule this whole world
0:59But something happened
1:00I didn't know why
1:01But that's the way that it goes
1:04I suppose
1:05What you say what you do
1:07Don't mean nothing nothing at all
1:10And all the bonds you make between ya
1:13Can be broken any time you want now
1:15Please tell me if my philosophy's wrong
1:18I've got to know the truth
1:20I don't mean to offend anyone but
1:22You know it's something that I do oh
1:25So nice to see you tonight
1:27And I'm so glad that you came
1:30Some of the people standing outside say
1:32Sure feel the same
1:34Yeah my point is in a round about way
1:37Given time he'll always forget
1:39'Cos the memories
1:40That are shouting me on
1:42To me everything
1:44(you're everything now)
1:45And it always will be mine yeah
1:47And no one can take them away
