lyrics

Adam, when’s the last time you heard from Kyle?
Hasn’t dropped me a line in a little while
Sandy says she saw him right before he left for Spain
and since he’s only sent a chintzy postcard shriveled from the rain

Sandy’s band still rattles basement rafters,
and sheepish english majors still ask her out after,
If you wanna go, she said they’re playing at her brother’s and
if we show up, she’ll slip a couple Bowie covers in

It’s 3 AM and I’m famished
And I’m worried because Kyle doesn’t even speak Spanish
And Sandy sounds like Patti Smith, can you hear it?
but she won’t for long, if she keeps on those American Spirits.

Adam, you still seeing that one girl?
Damn, I’m sorry that I asked
For a guy named after the first man
you sure know how to put yourself last

And me I can’t complain, but I must ask ya:
If Mel is leading helicopter tours up in Alaska,
if Carter owns eleven olive gardens, and Mya’s got an island in Dubai
If all my friends are drinking in the splendors of the world
then where the hell am i?

the people from our past have ended up in
places I can’t begin to fathom
and I know I’d love their lives
if I could only have them
If I could only have them
