People used to dream about the future

Drinkin' 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 you 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 takin' 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
