|
That's how it starts |
|
We go back to your house |
|
You check the charts |
|
And start to figure it out |
|
And if it's crowded, all the better |
|
Because we know we're gonna be up late |
|
But if you're worried about the weather |
|
Then you picked the wrong place to stay |
|
That's how it starts |
|
And so it starts |
|
You switch the engine on |
|
We set controls for the heart of the sun |
|
One of the ways we show our age |
|
And if the sun comes up, if the sun comes up |
|
If the sun comes up and I still don't wanna stagger home |
|
Then it's the memory of our betters |
|
That are keeping us on our feet |
|
You spent the first five years trying to get with the plan |
|
And the next five years trying to be with your friends again |
|
You're talking forty-five turns just as fast as you can |
|
Yeah, I know it gets tired, but it's better when we pretend |
|
It comes apart |
|
The way it does in bad films |
|
Except in parts |
|
When the moral kicks in |
|
Though we're running out of the drugs |
|
And the conversation's grinding away |
|
I wouldn't trade one stupid decision |
|
For another five years of life |
|
You drop the first ten years just as fast as you can |
|
And the next ten people who are trying to be believed |
|
When you're blowing eighty-five days in the middle of this |
|
Yeah, I know it gets tired only wearing on friends tonight |
|
To tell the truth |
|
Oh, this could be the last time |
|
So when we go |
|
Like a sail's force into the night |
|
And if I made a fool, if I made a fool |
|
If I made a fool on the road, there's always this |
|
And if I'm sewn into submission |
|
I can still come home to this |
|
And with a face like a dad and a laughable stand |
|
You leave conceit on the plane or review what you said |
|
When you're drunk and the kids look impossibly tired |
|
You think over and over, hey, I finally did |
|
Oh, if the trip and the plan come apart in your hand |
|
You look concerted on yourself your ridiculous prop |
|
You forgot what you meant when you read what you said |
|
And you always knew you were tired, but then |
|
Where are your friends tonight? |
|
Where are your friends tonight? |
|
Where are your friends tonight? |
|
If I could see all my friends tonight |
|
If I could see all my friends tonight |
|
If I could see all my friends tonight |
|
If I could see all my friends tonight |
