Lyrics:
The year is 2002
I’m doing exactly what I want a do
And baby I don’t even think about you anymore
Just thought I’d drop you a line
To let you know I was doing fine
baby it’s been a long long time
Since you walked out my door
It took me some time I must confess
For a while there I was feeling
less than my best
I had to get out of town so I headed
out west I ended up in Seattle
I thought I’d start a brand new band
I thought I’d call it Lonelyland
Things got a little out of hand
I ended up hooked on heroin
So I ended up moving back to Germany
Living with the folks baggin grocery’s
the time I had was mostly free
So I spent most of it drinking
I got myself in a jam or two
I guess it’s what I had to do
Late at night I’d still think of you
And it felt like I was drowning
Till I met this girl at a discotheque
She was a dancer but not what you’d expect
She taught ballet and she was half-Czech half Chinese
and after she decided not to have the baby
said she might move back to
Czechoslovakia maybe
By then I was half drunk or half crazy
I got arrested once but never convicted
My parents eventually had me evicted
I tried your number but it’d been
disconnected I guess I
should’ve known
I heard you got married
and you moved away
I called your folks but where they
wouldn’t say
They said it’s probably
better that way so I just let it be
I moved back to Austin bout a year ago
I drive a schoolbus
I don’t drink no more
I go out every once in a while and see
a show but mostly I just watch TV
So I don’t know where I’m gonna
send this letter
I doubt things are ever going to get much better
It seems like life is just one big whatever
anyway
just thought I’d drop
you a line
Lie and say I was doing fine
baby it’s been a
long long time Since you walked out my door
