Tim he was a good friend
Yeah was a brother of mine
We were imaginary
comic book superheroes
Kids wasting time
We were prisoners
of our youth
We were growing up strong
'Til the day
he was taken away
For something he did wrong
Oh alright
Tim came 'round just
the other day
And boy he had some
stories to tell
His mama kept him
locked up in a rehab
Although the doctors said
he was well
He said yeah I been
through the anger
And the hatred
towards my mom
And I put all that
behind me
Just tell me what was it like
to go to your prom
He said thank you mom
for fixing
My clouded broken mind
But excuse me if I seem
a little rude
Oh while I was missing
my childhood my brother
and my prime
You enjoyed the convenience
of my solitude
Of my solitude
Well growing up these days
just ain't easy
Oh and the kids they're doing
the best that they can
So mama you better
think twice
Before you lock your kid up
and throw away the key
'Cause soon your little boy
is gonna be a man
Woah-ooh woah-ooh
ooh-ooh-ooh
He said thank you mom
for fixing
My clouded broken mind
But excuse me if I seem
a little rude
Oh while I was missing
my childhood my brother
and my prime
You enjoyed the convenience
of my solitude
Of my solitude
Tim left town just yesterday
He left me with
these words
He said yeah I know
this life's got a lot to give
Oh but my childhood is gone
And I'm not afraid of dying
I'm gonna grab this world
by the horns
learn how to live
He said thank you mom
for fixing
My clouded broken mind
But excuse me if I seem
a little rude
While I was missing
my childhood my brother
and my prime
You enjoyed the convenience
of my solitude
Twenty four months of solitude
I didn't ask you
for this solitude
I can't forgive you
for this solitude
Woah-aah woah-aah
Woah-aah woah-la-aah
Yeah
