Intro: /-/-(hold)---/
Verse 1:
Don't believe everything
happiness says
Nothing feels better than
hiding these days
We bury our fears in the
drinks in these tears
For the days we
(hold)
believed we could fly
Verse 2:
Call up your brothers
and sisters and friends
We'll go back to the place
where the night never ends
We'll remember the fires
the burning car tires
Boy how in the hell
did we get here?
Chorus 1:
So why don't you meet me
down behind the old school
We'll waste away the weekend
with perfect regard for how
Cavalier we used to be
that beautiful insanity
The apathy's surrounding me
Don't close your eyes
or we'll fade away
Verse 2:
Over and over and
over again
We sat down for a minute
grew up into men
Now we're putting out
fires and changing car
tires Man how in the hell
did we get here?
Chorus 2:
So why don't you meet me
down behind the old school
We'll waste away the weekend
with perfect regard for how
Cavalier we used to be
that beautiful insanity
The apathy's surrounding me
Don't close your eyes
or we'll ...
Bridge:
...fade away this time
And we'll never get back what we
Gave away, when we still
have that fire in our eyes
Verse 3:
Don't believe everything
happiness says
Nothings as real as
our old reckless ways
When we drink by the fires
The burning car tires
Bad girls and good liars
The dreams we'd conspire
The days we went crazy
The nights wild and hazy
Man how in the hell
did we get here? so
Chorus 3:
why don't you meet me
down behind the old school
We'll waste away the weekend
with perfect regard for how
Cavalier we used to be
that beautiful insanity
The apathy's surrounding me
Don't close your eyes
or we'll (fade away)
why don't you meet me
down behind the old school
We'll waste away the weekend
with perfect regard for how
Cavalier we used to be
that beautiful insanity
The apathy's surrounding me
Don't close your eyes
(hold)
or we'll fade
