Broadway and Briar

歌詞

Broadway and Briar, I wait for my friends to get off work and stand and smoke A crazy man sits to me, looking down at a pile of his broken dreams 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? Seems like all my old friends have moved away" And I feel like I know what he means Will ten years go by and no one remember my name? I don't 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 people, it's just years and years and years of letting loneliness grow He said, "Who do I have to kill to see a familiar face in this town? Seems like all my old friends have moved away" And I feel like I know what he means, yeah, I already know what he means Youth doesn't last forever and neither do dreams
