For those who ever fell in and out of love with a band.

lyrics

When I first heard them on the radio
I swear that time stood still.
I bought their album, played it non-stop on my stereo
I couldn't get my fill.
But that was over three years ago.
-Where did they go?
It seems that nobody knows.
Time moves on, like a faded song.

I joined their fan club, hung up posters, taped their videos,
I was there biggest fan.
Stood in line all night for tickets to their sold out show.
They were the greatest band.
That all seems like so long ago.
-Where did they go?
I hear they're back in the studio.
And now time moves on like a hopeful song.

There's a new album coming out.
There's a new album coming out.
There's a new record coming out.
There's a new album coming out,
And I'll be the first one in line.

When I first learned I'd hear my band once more
I swear my heart stood still.
I counted down the days when I would hit the record store.
The news was such a thrill.
Now there's only one day to go,
-Where did time go?
To resurrect them on my stereo.
And now time moves on lke a skipping song.

There's a new album coming out.
There's a new album coming out.
There's a new record coming out.
There's a new album coming out,
And I'll be the first one in line.
Yeah!

There's a new album coming out.
There's a new album coming out.
There's a new record coming out.
There's a new album coming out,
And I'll be the first one in line.

When I got home I put the record on,
I couldn't trust my ears.
It seems the band had changed their sound
And left me all alone.
It was my greatest fear.
What happened to the band that I know?
-Where did they go?
I guess we've got three more years to go.
And now time moves on like distant song.
