Drinkin' our coffee It's a quarter to three No one in this place Just us and our mistakes You in the corner That stupid smile on your face Tell me is there a way to replace All the dreams That didn't come true Once we were happy Once we were people Who used to dream about the future Once we were people With stars in our eyes Do you remember when I was your 'Alice blue gown'? And you were the handsome young Prince in his crown Now the rain hits the roof And you realize That even your youth has let you down Oh don't go cry in your beer 'Cause it all ends in tears Remember when we were happy Once we were people Who used to dream about the future Yeah, once we were people With stars in our eyes Once we were people Who used to dream about the future But where did it all go? Where did it all go? Where did it all go? When did we stop takin' pictures? And when did you lose all your fight? And where did you sign? Give up and resign I never gave up on you No, I never gave up on you Once we were people Who used to dream about the future Once we were people With stars in our eyes Once we were people Once we were people
