Class of Twenty-Ten

"Get away from me," I wanted to say.
I've held myself back so many times from saying this to you.
I'll take the picture, and I'll fake the smile.
It's funny you showed up.
Where've you been the past four years?
But now that I've got your attention, let me tell you want's been on my mind.
You forgot about the ones you grew up with and continue living as if I don't exist
Those full-time jobs, they never paid enough to make it out to a single show.
But these words fall on deaf ears because most of my friends will never hear these words, so I'll speak freely.
To those of you I knew the most yet cared the least about me, you're the reason that I'll speak freely.
But I do know if you do hear this song you're going to call me up and say, "Michael, what's wrong? Is everything okay?"
And I'm going to tell you this: "No, it's not okay because for the past four years you haven't said a single thing. Yes, something's wrong. One-sided friendships only last for so long."
No one is communicating.
What's keeping things from fading away?
Don't forget the one's you grew up with, because when your four years are up my dear, I can guarantee that you'll end up back here.
When those crazy years come to an end, I can assure you that you'll be the one without any friends.
Hold that thought.
Wake up Class of Twenty-Ten. I've got something to say.
When we're all done growing up, you're going to wish we would have stayed in touch.
Wake up Class of Twenty-Ten. I've got something to say.
Four years now I haven't seen your face.
I warned you two years ago. Wake up.
