Mr. Used To Be Lyrics by The Postelles

0

He used to be so cool
The kids would say at school
"He's gonna be a star, you know."
Now he's all he has
His birthday was a drag
He wrote himself a card, you know
So he sits at home every night
Watching reruns he pretends to like
And he hopes that his friends will all call
But, he's all alone, all alone
Mr. Used To Be, why do you feel so bad?
Don't you know the world was always at your feet?
Mr. Used To Be, why do you seem so sad?
As you grow, the world will just get up and leave
Whoah, she was a beauty queen
Already peaked at seventeen
Looks, they don't last long, you know
She would try to dance for boys who loved romance
Working gets so hard, you know
She sits at home every night
Watching reruns she pretends to like
And she hopes that her friends will all call
But, she's all alone, all alone
Mrs. Used To Be, why do you feel so bad?
Don't you know the world was always at your feet?
Mrs. Used To Be, why do you seem so sad?
As you grow, the world will just get up and leave
So they sit at home every night
Watching reruns they pretend to like
When together, they think they believe
That they still are who they used to be
