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 what'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
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 ok?"
And I'm gonna tell you this:
"No! It's not ok!
'Cause for the past four years you haven't said a single thing
Yes, something's wrong
One-sided frienships only last for so long"

No one is communicating
What's keeping things from fading away?
Oh yeah, don't forget the ones 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 it, hold it!
Hold that thought

Wake up Class of Twenty-Ten
I've got something to say, I've got something to say
When we're all done growing up
You're gonna wish we would have stayed in touch
Wake up Class of Twenty-Ten
I've got something to say, something to say
Four years now I haven't seen your face
I warned you two years ago, wake up
