I'm walkin’ down the street
I have no one to meet
No preconceptions weighin' me down
This kid comes up to me
Asks me what I'm doin
Asks me where I’m from
And if i'm leavin' soon
Some lonely kid I've never met
Some lonely kid, never meet again
He tells me what its like
To live your life ‘round here
He says that gettin' stuck
It's his only fear
He says that its very hard
I said I understand
There's no answers
When you're only talkin’
Some lonely kid
I’ve never met
Some lonely kid
Never meet again
He asks me what its like
The place where I come from
What the people there really think about
He asks me if I'd write
I said I’d just forget
Then I told him, I'd remember him
Some lonely kid I've never met
Some lonely kid, never meet again
(Repeat.)
We stumbled through adulthood
We like it when its good
When its bad, it can't get no worse
I took his hand in mine
And then we said goodbye
He wished me a good life
And I wished him the same
Some lonely kid I’ve never met
Some lonely kid, never meet again
And I say Some lonely kid
Some lonely kid
Some lonely kid
Some lonely kid
