Lyrics:
Echoes of loneliness
Bouncing ‘round the concrete jungle
All of my friends left the city
Now it’s empty as a bottle
Never bet I’d end up like this
forgotten like last year’s model
All of my friends left the city
And I really shoulda followed
But I got caught in my bullshit
Took me a little bit
Longer to grow up I guess
Stuck here stayin’ in one place
Time slippin’ away
Never thought to leave the nest
All I wanted
was time to stand completely still
Was that too much to ask for?
Was that too much to ask for?
Frozen like a photograph
Oh I wish we could have stayed like that
Was that too much to ask for?
Cause I don’t know this city anymore
We used to run this town
The cool kids of Sunset Boulevard
All of my friends left the city
For the suburbs and a backyard
And every bar that we used to haunt
Got torn down and covered with parking lots
Now I’m just a ghost
Wondering where’d everyone go?
Yeah I’m here watching the tumbleweeds
Tumblin’ past me
Thought I was a rolling stone
But I got stuck in the quicksand
and unmade plans
Forgotten what it’s like to roam
All I wanted
Was time to stand completely still
Was that too much to ask for?
Was that too much to ask for?
Frozen like a photograph
I wish we could have stayed like that
Was that too much to ask for?
Cause I don’t know this city anymore
