[Verse 1: Stephan Jenkins]
Used to worry for each other
No one's bothered like before
We sleep with each other's friends
Sneak around, fall apart
And come back for more
We sit around drinking tables
Stabilized and keeping score
But my mind is somewhere out the door

[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
Oh, we have grown
Maybe I've overstayed a while
In my time in exile and
Oh, time has flown
And the only thing I've learned
I want a life now of my own

[Verse 2: Stephan Jenkins]
We go to clubs
The songs are old
The evening's blown
We go our ways
And take taxi's home
And talk of Sunday outings
And medicate to fight the doubting
But we know
We'll always be

[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
Alone
We have grown
I've overstayed a while
In my time in exile and
Oh, time has flown
And the only thing learned
I want a life now of my own
Of my own

[Verse 3: Stephan Jenkins]
Well, that's my years spent in exile
Second guessed and dressed up in tatters
My birth feet didn't take this path
And I'm still looking for a life that matters
More than chit-chat we listen to the streets
We're all dead beats
And these old habits are starting to show through
Sorry I didn't get to know you

[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
Oh, time has slown
I've overstayed a while
In my time in exile
Oh, well, we have grown
The one thing that I've learned
I want a life now of my own
Bye bye
To the friends I've known
In my time in exile

Third Eye Blind from San Francisco Mission District Mostly guitars with other things knocking around Riffs and deep beats Lyrics are expanded in a kinda hip hop way That wrong thing you’re not supposed to say- we say it Black on Black pretty much from the beginning It took us so long to get things this way but it really feels like we are underway now Jacked on coffee we are a fabulously disorganized bunch We seek impact with friends try to surf whenever we can dirty jokes looking out for each other we have eyes and a voice so no surprise when we speak the fuck up We care about shit No sequencers no backing tracks not a DJ group We believe in the gathering power of music Guess you could say we are a motherfucking rock band Born in shadow, made of lions, loud as fuck
