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  believed  we  could  fly
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?
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
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  hell  did  we  get  here?
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  this  time
And  we'll  never  get  back  what  we
Gave  away,
When  we  still  have  that  fire  in  our  eyes
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  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
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
