lyrics

This is a place that I knew well.
We danced in close-knit circles 'til our bodies hurt like hell.
I used to own that stage, but I had to move away
Looking for bigger and better not get stuck.

People ask how I've been doing, I think they'd rather here a lie.
How you liking the big city? I've never been more lonely in my life.
I live and I work on the same street in Queens, but every time I'm in Manhattan I remember all my dreams.
At least you're in Astoria, I hear that that's the hip place.

Well we all look a little older and we all seem a little tired
Half of us hate our jobs and the rest are still trying to get hired
Is there where I change the station? Cause I'm only getting static
Was the summer my last vacation? Cause I'm starting to panic.

Josh's hair is getting longer, Deena works three jobs
Victor's band is tighter than ever. Man I really gotta catch up.
Chad and Natalie are still going strong. I forgot how much I missed them and how well we get along.
If I still had a car I would visit on the weekend.

Are we all losing touch or do we just live busy lives?
Do you think that I worry too much when you tell me that I'll be fine?
Was this a trip back home or to my parents' house? I left on my own cause they would never kick me out.
It's only been 3 months but it feels like a lifetime.

Well we all look a little older and we all seem a little tired
Half of us hate our jobs and the rest are still trying to get hired
Is there where I change the station? Cause I'm only getting static
Was the summer my last vacation? Cause I'm starting to panic.
