Sometime inbetwen moving into the dorm
And begging for an ID
Somewhere in the middle of an 8 o'clock class
And watching Friends on TV
Sometime after the night you forgot
With the boy you don't remember
Maybe before the five tests in three days
Or the party every night in September
Sometime in the car on the way to Iowa
For the road trip of the year
After class gets out with that gay TA
And you finish the last warm beer
Shortly after you figured out
This new fangled e-mail thing
And after you stopped dreaming about
The fun a 21 ID would bring
Maybe the morning after you pulled an all-nighter
But finally got the paper done
Or maybe when you can't rememer
The last Sunday you had fun
Somewhere between the day you met your dorm roommate
And you were sure you got one of the duds
And the day four years later when she's still your roommate
And she's one of your best buds
Definitely after you realized how lucky you are
To have such a great group of friends
And after you get that sick feeling in your stomach
Wondering what will happen when it ends
Maybe on the beach for spring break
Hot sun, tan bodies, cold beer
Maybe after you started looking for a job
And your happy world turned to fear
Soon after you discovered there's not enough time
To do everything you should
Mac and cheese and popcorn
Never tasted so good
Sometime after the day your parents came to visit
So you were forced to make your bed
Or the morning after the tough night at the bars
And you can't believe the things you said
Sometime after you enjoy the beautiful weather
Though it means skipping a class
Probably after laughing on homecoming weekend
Watching old alumni drink off their collective ass
Somewhere between day one and year four
The best years of your life were spent
And looking back with a smile and a sigh
You wonder where those years went
You try to figure out who made you a victim
Of the most serious crime
You offer a reward for any information leading
To the one who stole the time
The day is coming closer and closer
Until one day it will be your last
And someone is guilty of doing this to you
The years have gone by way to fast
Sometime when you were to busy to notice
Happy as a newborn pup
Someone came along and did the unthinkable
Somebody grew us up
