take time to remember
the beauty of our youth
and the ideals
we once pursued
all left behind
locked within a boy's mind

do you remember when we
still had it in us to walk
a million miles, having
each other's voice to keep us awake?

and now you dance to all
the wrong songs, and you've
forgotten how to sing along,
so step away, for it may just be too late.

[chorus]
so go ahead and do what you
want to do. it's your life and so
it's up to you, and nothing can
compare to this, because that's the way it is.

hey c'mon and walk on the
wrong side of the road with me.
let's just go one more time,
for me, and for all the memories
we had, and for all the friends we
lost along the way. you owe it to yourself.
