Versuri Friends in Real Life – Route Nine Legends lyrics

I saw Kevin in the old parking lot
He hit me up for change
He didn’t recognize me, but I’d know him any place
I heard he did some time, and then I heard he got an apartment,
but he didn’t want to stop and chat
Just continued on his way

I don’t think it’s true that people never really change.
Sometimes I wonder if it’s all we ever do,
but it’s hard to make it happen on a schedule
It seems like we’re just spinning our wheels,
and then suddenly…wе move

I saw Jeff and Ruth at their housе
on a Tuesday afternoon
I knew them when we were young,
and I’ll know them when we’re gray
I liked when we were feral youth
who joined the circus, but not
compared to sitting with people
I love after things turned out okay

I don’t think it’s true that people like us never change,
but we don’t always change quite in the ways we would have liked to
Sometimes we just respond to life
a time or two or ten hundred, and give ‘em time
to spread and those reactions will be tangled in the roots

Sometimes I think I’ve changed,
and then I visit where I grew up
The old ways come alive,
and I don’t always like them now,
but there’s something that I love
about a stop sign where I can’t turn left
on Sundays in the summer
‘cause that’s when there is the flea market in town

I think that there are some things
that we can’t ever change,
but I don’t mean some great evil or cowardice inside
There could be a lot of that, but sweep it all away:
the thing that’s left is empty, and it’s full,
and we can’t kill it if we try
