I used to be a little boy but then I got old
But then I got old
I used to play with all my toys but then they got broke
But then they got broke
I used to go out with the boys but now I just mope
But now I just mope
I used to have the sweetest voice but now I just croak
But now I just croak
When we were kids we used to build forts
Hide from our parents in our own resorts
We were such small examples of how it can be
Faking perfection, afraid of reality
I lost all my friends to dreaming
I lost myself to the same
I was eight years old (Eight years old)
When you pushed me down the drain
And to all my friends from high school
I miss you each and all the same
And now a drink for every one of you
Is what propels me down the drain
(1, 2, 3, 4)
