And they met when they were young
With one thing in common
Two big city kids lost in a stupid world
Of egotistic boys and the lying little girls
And he knows there was something there
'Cause he saw it in her stare
All he does is look back, something to hold onto
Second guessing life, 'cause he doesnt know the truth
And he knows 'cause he fakes it
That he's doing okay
And he knows 'cause he wastes it
His life and everyday
And in his head he's always known
The way the story is supposed to go
But then she left, now she's fifty states away
And he wastes his hours and squanders everyday
'Cause now she's just a dream of how things could have been
So he sits at home and wonders where she is
And what she's doing, does she ever think of him
And he keeps on writing her letters
One's he'll never send
And he wished that he had a picture
So he could see her face again
