"Hanging Around" lyrics

I walked around alone last night
And tried to look at people like I did back then
I kinda wanted just to hang out
Remind myself what it was all about again

Everything I thought I shattered
And left laying there that didn't matter
Every now and then comes back to my eyes

Moving in a new direction
I know if you're not getting better
You're getting worse
But watching everybody else
It's getting harder to remind myself of what I've learned

Relying on another lame religion
To validate our arrogant traditions
And any day, we're gonna wonder why we've been left behind

This girl came up to me
And said, "I think my teacher used to go to school with you"
And she was right
And if for just a second
I take off these colored glasses
I can see it might just be a waste of time, a waste of time
And I don't know

Every day that passes, it gets easier to walk off
And it seems all right
And every day, another person I used to call my friend
Just disappears from sight

Now I see that I'm alone
Just like I always was from the beginning
And I think maybe that's the reason I'm not hanging around

I see your face
And wonder where you'll be five years from now
And what it really means to you inside
I can't explain the reasons why
I can't sit back and bide my time
It just keeps going on and on and on and on and on
And I don't know

And I don't know
And I don't know
And I don't know
And I don't know
And I don't know
And I don't know
And I don't know
And I don't know
And I don't know
