[Verse] A friend o' mine and I were sitting around Just talking about days gone by Before babies and wives and responsible lives And the way we looked at the world had changed We both grew more nostalgic As the flame on our life's candle burned away He climbed into his minivan After he shook my hand If people knew where we'd been they'd be amazed [Chorus] Tell us the one about Alexander How you and he would rule the world single-handedly And tell us the one about when you were king And the world seemed to bow down at your feet Back then I vowed it would all stay the same But somehow growin' up got'n the way Friends have given up on dreams of fame And walked ahead into those later days [Chorus] Tell us the one about Alexander How you and he would rule the world single-handedly And tell us the one about when you were king And the world seemed to bow down at your feet Back then I vowed it would all stay the same But somehow growin' up got'n the way Friends have given up on dreams of fame And walked ahead into those later days Into those later days (Into those later days) Into those later days (Into those later days) (Into those later days)
