They said that he would be huge
His guitar was sunburst blue
Ten years in nightclubs, he burned out and gave up
Now he's in the mall selling shoes
She was the homecoming queen
So vain that it was obscene
Now she is older, her beauty's betrayed her
And no one remembers her name
Everybody wishes they had held on to something
Everybody's missing pages in their life
Everybody wishes they had held on to someone
Everybody kisses the right one goodbye
She was the love of my life
She wanted to be my wife
I still have a picture of when I was with her
I must have been out of my mind
Everybody wishes they had held on to something
Everybody's missing pages in their life
Everybody wishes they had held on to someone
Everybody kisses the right one goodbye
Everybody kisses the right one goodbye
