Lyrics:

I've been feeling this too long
When you leave it all goes wrong
The only thing I know it isn't right

Busy streets have lost their rush
Buildings towered turned to dust
Like everything just disappeared in the night

It's when I walk these city streets
I realize the time that just went by
(don't you know)
Like an old friend I hardly know
Now that I've been away for all this time

I was hoping this would pass
But once it's here, it's here to last
I wish it could just all remain the same

I'm a stranger when I'm home
'Cause all alone is all I know
That's what happens when you go astray

It's when I walk these city streets
I realize the time that just went by
(That just went by)
Like an old friend I hardly know
Now that I've been away for all this time

I know I've made my bed
Sad thoughts are in my head
Barely holding back the tears
But when I watch the living dead
Wake up and break their bread
I know it's not for me, yeah-ee-yeah

It's when I walk these city streets
I realize the time that just went by
Don't you know
Like an old friend I hardly know
Now that I've been away for all this time

Oohhh oohhh oooohhh
Ooooohhh oooohhh oooohhh

You're on your own, you have to hold onto what you feel's rightly yours
Don't let anyone tell you it ain't worth the time
