Walk in circles and create a rut
There's comfort in going more down than up
Shots of how we shared our lives
More time between each as the years go by
You always seemed to be in a rush
But I guess I was the one who was out of touch
If I'm gonna be left behind
I hope we'll catch up on the other side
You got so close to what you want to do
I cheer you on as you fade from view
You move ahead and embrace the new
I get left behind
A groomsman on your wedding night
And a godparent to your shining light
You're moving on in your life
I can barely hold a 9 to 5
Don't mind me, I wouldn't want to take
From your perfect life with my own mistakes
If I'm gonna be left behind
Don't forget to drop a line
You got so close to what you want to do
I cheer you on as you fade from view
You move ahead and embrace the new
I get left behind
