When we were struttin’ down the street
It was at the Vox we’d meet
The jukebox played our favorite songs
That feeling nothing could go wrong
We were young spirits
We were young spirits
We used to meet our single friends
Pint glasses seemed to have no end
We’d stay out like we didn’t care
Like work was no burden to bear
We were young spirits
We were young spirits
We always had each others’ ears
The place would change over the years
Turned out that we would all change, too
As older age will do to you
Where did the time go?
What do we have to show?
Where did the time go?
What do we have to show?
Where did the time go?
What do we ever know?
Where did the time go?
What do we ever know?
We try to lead our double lives
And reminisce about the times
The jukebox played our favorite songs
That feeling nothing could go wrong
Friends were just steps away
Now we’ve gone our separate ways
Friends were just steps away
Now we’ve gone our separate ways
We were young spirits
We were young spirits
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...
