One got addicted   And the other ran away   Some settled down a familiar place   One let's go of the wheel   While the other one steers   One got the money that the other put away   Some held their ground and the others couldn't stay   A few just followed their dreams while the others stood clear      After all these years   After all these years      One found religion and the other lost faith   One sold something that he never could replace   Both looked back to see if the coast was clear   One hits the bottle till his problems go away   The other never made it home from school that day   Sometimes I wish I could just disappear      After all these years   After all these years      It feels like some days that the sun never shines   I can't decipher all these riddles and rhymes   They're going down in flames   They're burning alive   I just can't take this anymore   One looked back at the past and I'm finally here   After all these years      One got addicted   And the other ran away   Some held around while the others couldn't stay   One let's go of the wheel   While the other one steers   After all these years   One found religion and the other lost faith   One sold something that he never could replace   After all these years   Both looked back to see if the coast was clear
