Nightjacket - All of My Friends Lyrics

Echoes of loneliness
Bouncing round the concrete jungle
All of my friends left the city
Now it's empty as a bottle

Never bet I'd end up like this
Forgotten like last year's model
All of my friends left the city
And I really shoulda followed

But I got caught in my bullshit
Took me a little bit
Longer to grow up I guess

Stuck here stayin' in one place
Time slippin' away
Never thought to leave the nest

All I wanted
Was time to stand completely still
Was that too much to ask for?
Was that too much to ask for?

Frozen like a photograph
Oh I wish we could have stayed like that
Was that too much to ask for?
Cause I don't know this city anymore

We used to run this town
The cool kids of Sunset Boulevard
All of my friends left the city
For the suburbs and a backyard

And every bar that we used to haunt
Got torn down and covered with parking lots
Now I'm just a ghost
Wondering where'd everyone go?

Yeah I'm here watching the tumbleweeds
Tumblin' past me
Thought I was a rolling stone

But I got stuck in the quicksand
And unmade plans
Forgotten what it's like to roam

All I wanted
Was time to stand completely still
Was that too much to ask for?
Was that too much to ask for?

Frozen like a photograph
I wish we could have stayed like that
Was that too much to ask for?
Cause I don't know this city anymore"
