Regarding Steven lyrics

Artist  : Blues Traveler 
Song : Regarding Steven
 
Well I've guessed your name and I'm sure you know
mine
I'd like to discuss our mutual friend
I can't help but feel that I left him behind
Does he still stay with you or did his pain ever
end
I guess
I don't deserve to know
If he ever let go
I guess
I don't really need to see
If he wound up with you or did he ever break free
When we were both young, you took us in
And taught us to play survival games
He'd lost so much that you let him win
But I had a home so it just wasn't the same
I had the strength
To look you in the eye
And say goodbye
I was lucky
And I didn't have to play
Does he still stay with you or did he get away
I used what I had and I escaped
I smelled something good and I followed it's
track
But all he could smell was the world that you
shaped
It took all my strength and I just couldn't look
back
I remember him
Calling after me
I keep that memory
The last thing he screamed aloud
Was "Hey don't you leave me alone"
Yeah he might live with you but he called me his
home
Yeah I guessed your name
And someday so will he
Cause one of these ides he's gonna break free
Cause one of these ides he's gonna break free
Cause one of these ides he's gonna break
