my time in exile

used to worry for each other

no ones bothered like before

we sleep with each others friends

sneak around

fall apart

and come back for more

we sit around drinking tables

stabilized and keeping score

but my mind is somewhere out the door

oh

we have grown

maybe i've overstayed a while

in my time in exile and

oh

time has flown

and the only thing i've learned

i want a life now of my own

we go to clubs

the songs are old

the evening's blown

we go our ways

and take taxi's home

and talk of sunday outings

and medicate to fight the doubting

but we know

we'll always be

alone

we have grown

i've overstayed a while

in my time in exile and

oh

time has flown

and the only thing i've learned

i want a life now of my own

of my own

well that's my years spent in exile

second guessed and dressed up in tatters

my birth feet didn't take this path

and i'm still looking for a life that matters

more than chit-chat we listen to the streets

we're all dead beats

and these old habits are starting to show through

sorry i didn't get to know you

oh

time has slown

i've overstayed a while

in my time in exile

oh

well we have grown

the one thing that i've learned

i want a life now of my own

bye bye

to the friends i've known

in my time in exile
