Lyrics can mean things too!

I'd like to share the lyrics to a song that I've liked for a pretty long time. I first heard the song and the band in middle school... and today the song is always playing in the back of my head. Might not mean anything to anyone else, but I love the long. The song is Carousel, by Blink 182. It was on their 1st, 2nd and live album (best version). The beginnings of the song were created in the very first jam session of Tom and Mark ever. Were talkin early 90's. Simple as it may be, the words have always held meaning to me.

Carousel:

I talk to you every now and then
I never felt so alone again
I stop to think at a wishing well
My thoughts send me on a carousel

Here I am standing on my own
Not a motion from the telephone
I know not a reason why
Solitude's a reason to die

Just you wait and see
(Just you wait and see)
As school life is a
It is a woken dream
Aren't you feeling alone?

I guess it's just another
I guess it's just another
I guess it's just another night alone

Now as I walk down the street
I need a job just to sleep in sheets
Buying food every once in a while
But not enough to purchase a smile

A tank of gas is a treasure to me
I know now that nothing is free
I talk to you every now and then
I never felt so alone again

Just you wait and see
(Just you wait and see)
As school life is a
It is a woken dream
Aren't you feeling alone?

I guess it's just another
I guess it's just another
I guess it's just another night alone

To here the song in its live album version awesomeness, go to:
