Well, it's been a long long while
Almost a year now to the day
Since I was sent on my way
I got a place to stay
Down in that old suburban high rise
Where the first timer buys
Where every day is overcast
And the trains are always late
My head is somewhere in the past
So hang around and wait for time to pass
It's probably my mistake
And certainly no one else's heartache
I'm just another one to break
And a boy can get so confused
When there is nothing left to lose
I guess it's just my luck
When every lie I've tried to buy
Was never up for sale
These sour times weigh heavy
And have already tipped the scales
My oh my and hallelujah
I cross my heart and hope to die
I could swear my luck is changing
It's a welcome stranger here
Cause I'm running out of change for my wishing well
So wish me well
