Broadway And Briar lyrics

i wait for my friends to get off work and stand and smoke

and a crazy man sits next to me

looking down at a pile of his broken dreams

and he won`t even look at me i`m still young

and have so far to go

and he says to a passerby with a sad sad smile,

"does anyone know?"

"who do i have to kill to see a familiar face in this town?

it seems like all my old friends have moved awa y"

i feel like i know what he means

will 10 years go by and no one remember my name?

i dont want it to be that way

but it happened to this guy and i`m exactly the same as him

but i`m young and have so far to go

and i`ve seen what happens to pe ople

it`s just years and years of letting lonliness grow he said -

..he means youth doesn`t last forever and neither do dreams.
