I knew a face that stood before me
As we walked towards each other
I just walked on by
I didn’t want to start the cycle
Of “How you been, what ya doin’?”
And “I’m just fine”

A lot of people seem to know me
It seems I shared a moment with them at some
time
They come and go
They come and go man
You make a friend, you lose a friend
You wonder why

Why do we bother?
Why do we care?
We just get started
Then nothing
Nothing is there

We burn up friends
Just like matches
The intoxicating sulfur
Like a cocaine high
We end up lower
Then we started
These temporary people
Walking through our lives
