Lyrics
Sally called when she got the word
Sally informs the speaker about something related to Alice.
She said, I suppose you heard'about Alice.
Sally assumes the speaker already knows about Alice's situation.
So I rushed to the window and I looked outside
The speaker hurriedly looks out the window in response to Sally's message.
And I could hardly believe my eyes
The speaker is surprised by what they see outside.
As the big limousine pulled slowly into Alice's drive
A limousine arrives at Alice's place.
Oh I don't why she's leaving or were she's gonna go
The speaker is uncertain about why Alice is leaving.
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know
The speaker doesn't want to know Alice's reasons for leaving.
Cause for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice
The speaker has lived next to Alice for 24 years.
24 years just waiting for a chance
Expressing the long wait for an opportunity to confess feelings to Alice.
To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
Hoping for a chance to express feelings and be noticed by Alice.
Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice
The speaker has to adjust to not being neighbors with Alice.
We grew up together, two kids in the park
Reflecting on growing up together with Alice.
We carved our initials deep in the bark'me and Alice
They carved their initials as a symbol of their connection.
As she walks to the door with her head held high
Alice leaves with confidence and catches the speaker's eye.
Just for a moment I caught her eye
While leaving, Alice briefly acknowledges the speaker.
As the big limousine pulled slowly out of Alice's drive
The limousine departs from Alice's place.
Oh I don't why she's leaving or were she's gonna go
The speaker remains unsure about Alice's reasons for leaving.
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know
Not wanting to know the reasons behind Alice's departure.
Cause for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice
Reiterating the 24 years of living next door to Alice.
24 years just waiting for a chance
Still waiting for a chance to express feelings after 24 years.
To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
Hoping for a second glance from Alice.
Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice
The speaker has to adapt to not being neighbors with Alice.
Sally called back, asked how I felt
Sally checks back with the speaker about their feelings.
She said, I know how to help'Get over Alice
Sally offers assistance in getting over Alice.
She said now Alice is gone but I'm still here
Alice is gone, but Sally remains supportive.
You know, I've been waiting 24 years
Expressing the long wait of 24 years for Alice.
And the big limousine disappeared
The limousine has vanished, suggesting Alice's departure is final.
Oh I don't why she's leaving or were she's gonna go
The speaker remains uncertain about Alice's reasons for leaving.
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know
The speaker prefers not to know why Alice left.
Cause for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice
Reiterating the 24 years of living next door to Alice.
24 years just waiting for a chance
Continuing to wait for a chance to express feelings.
To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
Hoping for a second chance to get noticed by Alice.
Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice
The speaker has to adjust to not being neighbors with Alice.
Now I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice.
The speaker acknowledges the difficulty of not living next to Alice.
