We were opposites at birth, I was steady as a hammer,
And no-one worried cause they knew just where I'd be
And they said you were the "crooked kind", that you "would never have no worth"
But you were always gold to me...

Back when we were kids, we swore we knew the future
And our words would take us halfway round the world!
But I never left this town
And you never saw New York
And we ain't ever crossed the sea.

But I am fine....with where I am, now.
This home is home, and all that I'll need
But for you, this place is shame.
But you can blame me, when there's no-one left to blame....
Oh, I don't mind.

And all my life, I've never known where you've been
There were holes in you....the kind that I could not mend.
And I heard you say, right when you left that day:
"Does everything go away...?"
"Yeah, everything goes away..."

But I'm gonna be here till forever
So just call when you're around...
