People used to dream about the future

Drinking our coffee

It's a quarter to three

No one in this place

Just us and our mistakes

You in the corner

That stupid smile

On your face

Tell me is there a way to replace

All the dreams

That didn't come true

Once we were happy

Once we were people

Who used to dream about the future

Once we were people

With stars in our eyes

Do you remember when I was your

'Alice blue gown'

And you were the handsome young

Prince in his crown

Now the rain hits the roof

And your realize

That even your youth has let you down

Oh don't go cry in your beer

'Cause it all ends in tears

Remember when we were happy

Once we were people

Who used to dream about the future

Yeah, once we were people

With stars in our eyes

Once we were people

Who used to dream about the future

But where did it all go

Where did it all go

Where did it all go

When did we stop taking pictures

And when did you lose all your fight

And where did you sign

Give up and resign

I never gave up on you

No, I never gave up on you

Once we were people

Who used to dream about the future

Once we were people

With stars in our eyes

Once we were people

Once we were people
