I'm spending my time on long distance phonecalls I'm wasting my money in internet cafes I miss my family I miss my friends But I can't go back I'm not ready yet I'm spending my time on long distance phonecalls I'm wasting my money in internet cafes I miss my family I miss my friends but I can't go back... I'm not ready yet My mother's hair is turning white and I'm not there My father's getting older too and I'm not there My sister wins and loses races, my uncle's dying And I'm not there to say goodbye My friends are moving in and out of flats and 'm not there My friends are falling in and out of lovе and I'm not there My friends arе getting married, will I be there To celebrate with them? My friends are having nervous breakdowns and I'm not there My friends are falling apart and I'm not there My friends are trying to kill themselves And I'm not there to say " don't do it! 'cause I need you, what would I do without you?" Everytime I go back we pretend nothing's changed Besides the fun there is a ghost lingering between us We adore each other but I'm not part of their everyday lives no more And they are not part of mine In a new town in a new scene With a whola lotte brand new things to do My new friends are so brilliant they almost made me forget But how could I ever forget, how could I ever forget you? So I'm wasting my time on long distance phonecalls I'm spending my money in internet cafes I miss my family I miss my friends but I can't go back I'm not ready yet I'm spending my time on long distance phonecalls I'm wasting my money in internet cafes I miss my family I miss my friends but I can't go back I'm not ready yet to join the army I miss my family I miss my friends but I can't go back I'm not ready yet to settle down I want to run around I miss my family I miss my friends but I can't go back I'd rather stay a little bit more abroad, abroad But I miss my family and I miss my friends
