The world turns round and round
And I'm here, standing still
Friends turn into strangers
Longing for a bigger thrill
I don't really blame them
I guess that's what life's about
Making up your mind to see
Who really matters now
Confusion taking over me
It won't stop now
Everybody's changing
Kinda strange, somehow
What happened to the old familiar faces
Can't recognize them anymore
I still remember all the places
We would laugh and dance and sing
Now what's with all the superficial chases
No one really cares about
Why don't we go back to the simpler days
Where time didn't seem to slip
Away, oooh, oooh
Away, oooh, oooh
The world turns round and round
And I'm here, standing still
Tryin' to figure out
Who's fake and who's real
Confusion taking over me
It won't stop now
Everybody's changing
Kinda strange, somehow
What happened to the old familiar faces
Can't recognize them anymore
I still remember all the places
We would laugh and dance and sing
Now what's with all the superficial chases
No one really cares about
Why don't we go back to the simpler days
Where time didn't seem to slip
Away, oooh, oooh
Away, oooh, oooh
And throughout the changes
Some are still the same as
Back when no one gave a shit
About what the others do
What I wanna say is
There's no one as great as
Every single one of those
Who stay the way they are
What happened to the old familiar faces
Can't recognize them anymore
I still remember all the places
We would laugh and dance and sing
Now what's with all the superficial chases
No one really cares about
Why don't we go back to the simpler days
Where time didn't seem to slip
Away, oooh, oooh
Away, oooh, oooh
