[Verse 1]
Some of my old friends
Have fallen behind
Seem like their dreams just exceeded their grasp
With too much to do and just too little time
How quickly the years go past
[Chorus]
Some move up
Some move out
And some stay right where they are
Some give in
Some give out
Some never even get that far
[Verse 2]
Climbing the ladder
Of social acceptance
Chasing a piece of the corporate pie
Keeping an eye on the minutes and seconds
How quickly the time goes by
[Chorus]
Some move up
Some move out
And some stay right where they are
Some give in
Some give out
Some never even get that far
[Bridge]
We were gonna make our mark
We were only shooting in the dark
Some of us were on our way
Where are they today?
[Chorus]
Some move up
Some move out
And some stay right where they are
Some give in
Some give out
Some never even get that far
Some move up
Some move out
And some stay right where they are
Some give in
Some give out
Some never even get that far
Some of my old friends
Have fallen behind
Seem like their dreams just exceeded their grasp
With too much to do and just too little time
How quickly the years go past
[Chorus]
Some move up
Some move out
And some stay right where they are
Some give in
Some give out
Some never even get that far
[Verse 2]
Climbing the ladder
Of social acceptance
Chasing a piece of the corporate pie
Keeping an eye on the minutes and seconds
How quickly the time goes by
[Chorus]
Some move up
Some move out
And some stay right where they are
Some give in
Some give out
Some never even get that far
[Bridge]
We were gonna make our mark
We were only shooting in the dark
Some of us were on our way
Where are they today?
[Chorus]
Some move up
Some move out
And some stay right where they are
Some give in
Some give out
Some never even get that far
Some move up
Some move out
And some stay right where they are
Some give in
Some give out
Some never even get that far
