Traveled through time last night
Couldn't find the old me
I outgrew the one bar I never thought I'd leave
Never felt out of place on Tompkins Square till I ran that gauntlet,
With fully open eyes in a necktie and sleeves And I believe
That the good old days
Weren't all that good to me
And I can see
That if the world keeps turning in the same direction
We're all walking a one-way street I made one more stop on my way home
Another old stomping ground of mine is about to close
Can't say I'll miss it that much
It wreaks of tequila and of underage love
But it's oh so close to where I want most to be And I believe
That the good old days
Weren't all that good to me
And I can see
That if the world keeps turning in the same direction
We're all walking a one-way street Swear to god, there was a moment in time when I walked down your block each night
Just to see if I could will you to appear
Use all my magic to draw you near
'Cause you're the only one, ever drove me this mad
Made me want to be a better man
Well, I'm better now, but now you found yourself a friend
And I can keep howling at the moon
But what would that mean to you? And I believe
That the good old days
Weren't all that good to me
And I can see
That if the world keeps turning in the same direction
If the world keeps moving in one direction
We're all walking a one-way street
