It's been a long time since I was sixteen
It's been a long time since I had a heart
It's been so long since I stood here
It's been too long for me to play this part
Ain't it funny how the time goes
Just when you think that it's all set
And then time comes knocking
Just in time to claim your debt
And I say, I don't know who you are these days
Oh my God, how the faces have all changed
It seems like months, but it's been years
And I wonder, will everything ever be clear
It's been a long time since you left
It's been a long time since I lost my mind
It's been so long since I felt like I belong
It's been too long for me not to see the signs
Ain't it funny how the time goes
Just when you think that it's all set
And then time comes knocking
And you realize that you're out of cigarettes
And I say, I don't know who you are these days
Oh my God, how the faces have all changed
It seems like months, but it's been years
And I wonder, will everything ever be clear
