[Verse 1]
I woke up Sunday morning
Another twenty years gone by
Pulled myself out of my bed
It's getting harder every time

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Grab my phone, but there's no messages at all
Then I realize there's no one left to call

[Chorus]
Whoa - Seems like things ain't what they used to be
Whoa - Can't cry anymore
I'm alone
Whoa - Where did everyone go?

[Verse 2]
I drive to work every morning
And no one looks me in the eye
It feels like love has left the world
And I can't help but wonder why

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I had that dream again where I begin to fall
And on the way down, learn the meaning of it all

[Chorus]
Whoa - No, things ain't what they used to be
Whoa - Can't cry anymore
I'm alone
Whoa - Where did everyone go?

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus 3]
I fell asleep last night and woke up in the fall
Turned my head and blinked and now there stands a wall

[Chorus]
Whoa - Seems like things ain't what they used to be
Whoa - I can't cry anymore
I'm alone
Whoa - Where did everyone go?
Whoa
Whoa - Where did everyone go?

Toto is an American rock band formed in 1977 in Van Nuys in Los Angeles, California. The band’s current lineup consists of Joseph Williams (lead vocals), David Paich (keyboards, vocals), Steve Porcaro (keyboards), Steve Lukather (guitars, vocals), Shem von Schroeck (bass), and Shannon Forrest (drums). Toto is known for a musical style that combines elements of pop, rock, soul, funk, progressive rock, hard rock, R&B, blues, and jazz.

David Paich and Jeff Porcaro had played together as session musicians on several albums and decided to form a band. David Hungate, Steve Lukather, Steve Porcaro, and Bobby Kimball were recruited before their first album release. The band enjoyed great commercial success in the late 1970s and 1980s, beginning with the band’s eponymous debut released in 1978. With the release of the critically acclaimed and commercially successful Toto IV from 1982, Toto became one of the best-selling music groups of their era. They are best known for the Top 5 hits “Hold the Line”, “Rosanna”, and “Africa”. Several changes to the lineup have been made over the years. Hungate left in 1982 followed by Kimball in 1984 but rejoined the band in 1998 until 2008. Jeff Porcaro died in 1992 of a heart attack. Hungate rejoined Toto as a touring musician and later a band member. In 2008, Lukather announced his departure from the band, and the remaining band members later went their separate ways. In the summer of 2010, Toto reformed and went on a short European tour, with a new lineup, to benefit Mike Porcaro, who had been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and was no longer an active member of the band.

The band has released a total of 17 albums, and have sold over 40 million albums to date. The group was honored with several Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in 2009.
