Seven years ago When you still had your smile When you still had your laugh Always in control To bring us all alive To leave us when you died Walking on the plank Walking on the wire Running from the pain Always start the fire To throw it all away Your life fell on the rocks Traded in your attitude Retire to the skies What were you thinking Who'd you wanna be What were you drinking That set your mind at ease Did you forget us all And leave us far behind Now you're only someone In our minds Don't you know That you were loved You know that you were liked I know you had shadows To tell you wrong from right And all your friends In all the heavens Can make you free To fly...fly I know there's a limit boy There's a limit On your life I'll see you at the gate My friend We'll play it one more time What were you thinking Who'd you wanna be What were you drinking That set your mind at ease Did you forget us all And leave us far behind Now you're only someone In our minds Oh, it's a scary situation To think it could be me To think it could be me To think it could be It's like I made this highway home Another dark and lonely road If there's a god Then heaven's gonna help me Another bow A broken arrow Another fight with Life so shallow What were you thinkin' Who'd you wanna be What were you drinkin' That set your mind at ease Did you forget us all And leave this world behind Now you're only someone In our minds
