2002 Lyrics

The year is two thousand & two



I'm doing exactly what I wanted to



And baby I don't even think about you anymore







Just thought I'd drop you a line



To let you know I was feeling fine



Cause honey it's been a long long time



Since you walked out my door







It took me some time I must confess



For a while there I was feeling less than my best



I had to get out of town so I headed out west



I ended up in Seattle







I thought I'd start a brand new band



I thought I might call it Lonelyland



Things got a little out of hand



I ended up hooked on heroin







So I ended up moving back over to Germany



Living with the folks baggin grocery's



But the time I had was mostly free



So I spent most of it drinking







I got myself in a jam or two



I guess it's what I had to do



Late at night I'd still think of you



And it felt like I was drowning







Till I met this girl at a discotheque



She was a dancer but not what you'd expect



She taught ballet and she was half-Czech half Chinese







But after she decided not to have the baby



She said she was gonna move back to Czechoslovakia maybe



By then I didn't really care I was either half drunk or half crazy







I got arrested once but never convicted



My parents eventually had me evicted



I tried your number but it'd been disconnected



I guess I should've known







I heard you got married and you moved away



I called your folks but where they wouldn't say



They said it's probably better that way so I just let it be







I moved back to Austin bout a year ago



I drive a schoolbus I don't drink no more



I go out every once in a while and see a show but mostly I just watch TV







So I don't know where I'm gonna send this letter



I doubt things are ever going to get much better



It seems like life is just one big whatever anyway







I just thought I'd drop you a line



Lie and say I was doing fine



Cause baby it's been a long long time



Since you walked out my door
