It’s just fourteen floors behind you.
It’s just fourteen floors, from where you’ve come.
And I don’t want to hear all about your new life.
When I can’t forget... you.

It seems so long ago when we roared upon the same wave.
And now I can’t ride with you. Is it an invitation or a pleasure?
It must be hard going through life, having disregarded the people you once liked.

Where did dismissal become goodbye?
I remember your smile of cheer and joy, juicy.
Now replaced with a roll of your eyes.

Clearly, you’ve disregarded us.
Why keep me on? Why do I stay?
Is there a chance you might reappear?
Not likely ‘cause this is where you’ve wanted to be.
Without a price to pay (to you).
They’ll get it.
They’ll get the tab.
They’ll get it.
Someone will get the tab.

Your apology doesn’t mean a thing.
In the morning after, you’ve disregarded me.
You called me friend? What can I think? When I can’t forget... you.

And when you hear this song, you’ll disregard it too.
As if these words have nothing to do with you.
It must be hard going through life, having disregarded the people you once liked.
