It's been a while, I haven't seen you for at least
   A year or more, or is it less? I can't be sure
   Well, anyway, you must have heard about the
   Troubles that I had, but somehow I got through
   I always managed to... and by the way
   How are you?
   How is your life?
   How is it going?
   Are you still dreaming and making big plans?
   How are the nights are they still lonely?
   Are you still struggling the way that I am? Oh
   How, how are you? How are you?
  
   You always said that you would try to change
   Turn a new leaf and start all over again
   But I bet you're making all the same mistakes
   You're a lot like me, that's why I'm still your friend
   Still no offence, no more hard feelings left on silly sentiment
   No harm was ever felt or ever meant
   You go your way, I'm bound to see you on the street again some day
   And when I do I'll always say
   How are you? How are you?
  
   How is your life? How is it going?
   Are you still dreaming and making big plans?
   How are the nights? Are they still lonely?
   Are you still struggling the way that I am? Oh
   How, how are you? How are you?
  
   I know you're making all the same mistakes
   You're a lot like me that's why I'm still your friend
   I bet go, I gotta thousand little things I better do
   Ah, but it was really good to talk to you
   Be on my way, I'm bound to see you on the street again someday
   And when I do I'll say
   How are you? How are you?
  
   How is your life? How is it going?
   Are you still dreaming and making big plans?
   How are the nights? Are they still lonely?
   Are you still struggling the way that I am? Oh
   How, how are you? How are you?
