Me and that ball in the driveway
I watched my brother grow up
Just when he had the chance,
got bored and put down the ball
I never got bored, no, I just gave up
Knew it was never gonna happen,
me and some other guys play and talk
This time it's not a ball game,
It's not a book that lets
these are the passing days
I don't wanna look back and
Mark and I started a band
Cause we thought it might make us cool
We did Tom Petty and the Eagles,
but you know how that went
We were five guys now, grown up,
but somewhere I just gave up
I knew it was never gonna happen
But I stayed close enough
My good friends tell me that's
And I'm starting to think
It's not a book that lets you bend a page
These are the passing days
I don't want to look back
I've got children and bills to pay
It's not a book that lets you bend a page
these are the passing days
I don't want to look back
It's not a book that lets you bend a page
and these are the passing days
I don't want to look back
I don't want to look back
