Are you home alone? cause I phoned
To let you know your mates in a state
Passed out, checkmate
And heart to hearts only start
When we drink in the dark
I lied and said I love ya
Oh but you know I always want to
Reminisce about the high school phases
In the textbook pages
Haven't seen you hanging round for ages
Not at all
Now all we talk about is work and wages
And the sex exchanges
Cause the years are changing everything
But we're still holding on to when we were young
And down the line, everytime when you find
The remnants of your mates, baby gates
Wifed up, checkmate
Remember nights at eighteenths when talk was so cheap
And fighting was all you'd see
He lied and said he loved ya
Cause everybody wants to
Reminisce about the high school phases
In the textbook pages
Haven't seen you hanging round for ages
Not at all
Now all we talk about is work and wages
And the sex exchanges
Cause the years are changing everything
But we're still holding on to when we were young
You see it happens every weekend
And it's just the latest of a new trend
Keep selling time that we never really spend
Again and again
Reminisce about the high school phases
In the textbook pages
Haven't seen you hanging round for ages
Not at all
Now all we talk about is work and wages
And the sex exchanges
Cause the years are changing everything
But we're still holding on to when we were young
