"Some Friends" lyrics

Hey, can I have a slice of time?
I know you live your life and I live mine
What happened to us getting drunk and
Staying up 'til ten past five?

Wow, look at us now all grown up
I know we're going through some grown up stuff
Do you own that VHS recorder
Or did the tapes get lost?

What a shame we all now have our own apartments
And what a shame that some of us now live abroad
And what a shame I didn't realize what I had until it left
I guess some friends will never come back
I guess some friends will stay in my past

Hey, distances they creep right in
The game of time is something no one wins
I've always wondered what would happen
Now I'm almost four feet in

What a shame I missed the ten year anniversary
And what a shame that some of us can't find the one
Oh, what a shame I didn't realize what I had until it left
I guess some friends will never come back
I guess some friends will stay in my past
