Kalamazoo

I don’t remember you
You said you went to high school in Kalamazoo
I never forget a face but I guess I’ve forgotten you

Way back in 1992
The world was your oyster in your view
You made a deal and took a vow
But will they still hold you to that now

My friend, your happy end is waiting down the hall
All your dreams and how you picked ‘em
You’re a victim
A teenage know-it-all
Do you recall your predictions
And how short did you fall

I don’t remember you
You said you went to high school in Kalamazoo
I never forget a face but I guess I’ve forgotten you

They called the role and reached your name
Just as you reached the beach in vain
Can't soak up the sun thru all that rain
Now you're struck in the house until you gain

Our trust as we've discussed
Get your grades where they belong
If you think that we'll invest in a four-year drunkfest
You’ve got it all wrong
We've heard it all year long
We’ve decided we won’t be strung along

All the way back in town
High aspirations stuck in the ground
What have you lost
What will be found
You dreams lay there in a timeless sleep
The promises you could not keep
But as you sow, so shall you reap

I don’t remember you
You said you went to high school in Kalamazoo
I never forget a face but I guess I’ve forgotten you
