Remember When (February 26, 2011)

Another round of shots
Another round of beers
Another chance to wonder what I'm doing here
Half-remembered stories of unforgiven friends
Forget about it
Nothing ever ends

Remember when we did this every other day and never realized we were in each other's way?
The same familiar faces
Half-asleep and half-aware
And they're not going anywhere

I figured everything out only recently
It turns out that at long last I have no decency
No sense of loyalty
No sense of the past
No sense wanting anything to last

I told the one where we got lost on LBJ
That's about when I ran out of things to say and stepped out for a cigarette I didn't want to smoke
When the hell did I become a joke?

I hail a cab and then I somehow climb inside
We said we missed the good old days
I hope to God we lied
I can't say that I miss them but I can't say that I care
All I know is I'm not staying there
