From the album, 'Don't Say No!'
lyrics
Why the awkward moments?
Why the prolonged pause?
It seems you failed to notice me..
but I know you did of course
You're not a friend to me anyway
And you never really were
They say that home is where the heart is
Well my heart's with her..
In Astoria
So you've become a man now
The future's in your hands
But with friends so disposable
It must be hard to make plans
You're not a friend to me anyway
And you never really were
They say that the home is where the heart is
My heart's with her..
In Astoria
For a while it seemed a shame
We went our own way
But now that we've grown up
You're just not good enough for me
Fade into the distance
So does your memory
I'm gonna leave it in our hometown
With the death of you and me
You're not a friend to me anyway
And you never really were
They say that home is where the heart is
My heart's with her
My heart's with her
My heart's with her
In Astoria
Why the prolonged pause?
It seems you failed to notice me..
but I know you did of course
You're not a friend to me anyway
And you never really were
They say that home is where the heart is
Well my heart's with her..
In Astoria
So you've become a man now
The future's in your hands
But with friends so disposable
It must be hard to make plans
You're not a friend to me anyway
And you never really were
They say that the home is where the heart is
My heart's with her..
In Astoria
For a while it seemed a shame
We went our own way
But now that we've grown up
You're just not good enough for me
Fade into the distance
So does your memory
I'm gonna leave it in our hometown
With the death of you and me
You're not a friend to me anyway
And you never really were
They say that home is where the heart is
My heart's with her
My heart's with her
My heart's with her
In Astoria
