I miss everybody (rewrite five)

there are too many people
I used to know
I miss everybody
I have no idea
of wherever they go
I miss everybody
once we threw parties
on neighbors' front lawns
now on Friday evenings
I'm sitting alone
wondering where
all my buddies have gone
I miss everybody

I once had people
knocking on my front door
I miss everybody
wherever they are
I don't see them anymore
I miss everybody
now I remember
what I used to forget
a trash can of wishes
overflowing with regret
trading real life
for that old TV set
I miss everybody

I need me a drink
a shot of malt liquor
I miss everybody
every day is racing
quicker and quicker
I miss everybody
I know it's natural
for relationships to end
but I'm finding I'm thinking
about every one of them 
and now there's nothing
where friendship had been
I miss everybody
I miss everybody
