[Chorus]
Doesn't feel like a quarter century passed
We thought the world would end
Thought we see it collapse
We said we'd stay together
Said we'd be the real thing
Now I don't even know
If you'd recognize me
Na, na na na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na na na, na, na, na, na, na

[Verse]
Popped up in my people you may know
Not a common friend
(I don't even wanna know)
Took me straight back 
to the party down my street
You were cold from the holes
In your Abercrombie jeans
Sat by the fire 
on the bench next to me
And we talked about our
favorite shows on MTV
As the countdown started
And we raised our drinks
You shrugged your shoulders
and leaned right in

[Bridge]
Looks like your kids are older than mine
Guess we ended up doing just fine
I’m just digging through the back of my mind
Back before our memories were stored online
I'd call you up on your house landline
Hoping your dad doesn't pick it up this time
Life was so simple back in ninety nine
Screaming “Hit me baby one more time!”

[Chorus]
Na, na na na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na na na, na, na, na, na, na, na

[Verse]
A whole year passed
and we didn’t miss a day
Then your dad got an offer 
for a job in L.A.
You moved out a week
before Christmas day
We said we’d figure it out
Said that we’d be okay
Ran up some bills
with those long distance dials
Tying up the phone line
On AOL free trials
Only lasted 
a month or two
The calls got shorter 
and I think we just knew
Time moved on but 
part of me stayed 
Back in your driveway 
running, DCs unlaced

Late night, watching rented DVDs Heard the car door slam So I threw on my DC's Sneakin’ out your window Dropped the CD you made me I'll say sorry in the morning When I see you in P E Sixteen, thought we knew it all Mapping out our routes to hook up in the hall You wrote me a note at least once a day Now it’s been 20 years Since I’ve seen your face [Chorus] Doesn't feel like a quarter century passed We thought the world would end Thought we see it collapse We said we'd stay together Said we'd be the real thing Now I don't even know If you'd recognize me Na, na na na, na, na, na, na, na Na, na na na, na, na, na, na, na [Verse] Popped up in my people you may know Not a common friend (I don't even wanna know) Took me straight back to the party down my street You were cold from the holes In your Abercrombie jeans Sat by the fire on the bench next to me And we talked about our favorite shows on MTV As the countdown started And we raised our drinks You shrugged your shoulders and leaned right in [Chorus] Doesn't feel like a quarter century passed We thought the world would end Thought we see it collapse We said we'd stay together Said we'd be the real thing Now I don't even know If you'd recognize me Na, na na na, na, na, na, na, na Na, na na na, na, na, nana, na, na, na, na, na, na [Bridge] Looks like your kids are older than mine Guess we ended up doing just fine I’m just digging through the back of my mind Back before our memories were stored online I'd call you up on your house landline Hoping your dad doesn't pick it up this time Life was so simple back in ninety nine Screaming “Hit me baby one more time!” [Chorus] Na, na na na, na, na, na, na, na, na Na, na na na, na, na, na, na, na, na [Verse] A whole year passed and we didn’t miss a day Then your dad got an offer for a job in L.A.
