about

Co-written with Lucas Kavner

lyrics

I remember the first day of class
At James K. Polk Elementary School
Jonathan Goldstein was his name them on the roll
I was the one supposed to show him the ropes

Things change all the time
People change all the time

Well pretty soon we were as thick as thieves
Rollerblades and lemonade and silent films
I remember when he got two black eyes
I applied the ice packs, it was no surprise

Things change all the time
People change all the time
Things change all the time
People change all the time

Plowing full throttle we'll make it through the Garden State
Five miles to the gallon my Nissan will take us away

Called you last week still had your mom's number
I figured you'd be home, home for the holidays
I said, "Goldstein, it's me" and he said, "Who?"
I said, "Never mind, I guess I have the wrong number"
