Hold on, fucking tight Each new line on your face Gets much harder to hide We never got it right Truth is we never tried The day got late while we were doing other things I know it sounds like a lie But I don’t regret A goddamn thing Those old songs, play on But we forgot the words Can’t find our way back home We never wrote it down Instead of treading water let it drown Crossing out what you wrote in ink always looks ugly I know it sounds like a lie But I don’t regret A goddamn thing Cowardly lion, get some heart Lines on your face are where your story starts Like a badge of honour Don’t you ever hide a thing Don’t you ever hide a thing

April’s all through these streets Autumn leaves crush like bone Beneath the soles of our feet Are we, the quite shadows of the kids we once were Or did we, forgot who we were Once so proud to be To be Into the night we scream our names Into the endless driving rain The wind sings back the same A sad refrain We’ve seen things you wouldn’t believe Now only memories remain And soon they’ll all be lost Like tears in rain The prize held out of reach Another week laid to waste Another line on your face The years pass so easily these days So caught up in 9 to 5 We hide, the dreams we once believed Would be Our lives Into the night we scream our names Into the endless driving rain The wind sings back the same A sad refrain We’ve seen things you wouldn’t believe Now only memories remain And soon they’ll all be lost Like tears in rain All the stones we ever threw As one came crashing down To the ground With such a beautiful sound

My voice raises a toast To the phone call that said it all I’m lying here underneath this car That you rode off the road I’m waiting on flashing lights and sirens Waiting for the Jaws of Life Someone to pull me from this wreck Before it leaves me paralyzed Broken glass against my throat Something red and sticky soaking through my clothes All I can see, amongst the debris Is your tail lights fade away So let it all… Let it all come crashing down We’ll deal with it in the morning Once we’ve had a little sleep I let it all Let it all come crashing down We’ll deal with it in the morning Once we’ve had a little sleep I’m flicking through worn memories Trying to save anything I lie here in what I can collect With all the panic that it brings I’m waiting on a rescue team I doubt they’re even looking for me Lying here in this pool of What could or should have been I’m happy lying in the grass Amongst the gravel and broken glass Laughing into the cold night sky As your tail lights fade away So let it all… Let it all come crashing down We’ll deal with it in the morning Once we’ve had a little sleep I let it all Let it all come crashing down We’ll deal with it in the morning Once we’ve had a little sleep

Let’s put this city in our rear view It’s just another character in a story That never really meant much of anything Well there’s a red sky tonight That reflects off your eyes Don’t you dare look back We’re leaving all that past behind We sail without anchors On these endless seas The line of the horizon Is all we’ll ever need We’ve no need for swallows Tattooed ink, to carry us home May the sharks take our bodies The devil can take our souls Place a silver coin under the masthead And pour some wine out on the deck All the dead we’ve left behind Are the gulls flying in our wake Keep the feather of a wren slain On a new year’s day On a string around your neck We’ve got some storms ahead And if we all Held to the course we’re born with We would never learn What adventure really meant We sail without anchors On these endless seas The line of the horizon Is all we’ll ever need We’ve no need for swallows Tattooed ink, to carry us home May the sharks take our bodies The devil can take our souls We’re deaf to the sirens That threaten to draw us off course Focused on Polaris On and on into the dawn We’re deaf to the sirens That threaten to draw us off course Focused on Polaris On and on into the dawn

Headlights cut a scar up the freeway Radio plays a song I used to know But the words are lost somewhere so long ago I’ve seen the shape of what is coming Truth be told, I’m terrified But I’ll stand my ground with shaking hands, wide open eyes The voices coming through are static Suddenly I can’t catch my breath Something so big it’s just so crippling At times these wide open spaces Are just so suffocating, hand on heart, There’s times I’m just not strong enough For the weight of these choices I’ve made And I’m so tired but I refuse to close my eyes These free and easy lives we lead Burn away and can never be again So please leave the rest to me It’s time I was moving on anyway And I hope we meet again someday In my memory your smile fades And I hope we meet again someday

Raise your glass damn high and spend it all You can’t take it with you We’ll all be gone before too long So carve your name Into the first light of the dawn With the pocket knives we’ll pass on To our daughters and our sons In the end We’re all just dead and gone Lay the coins upon our eyes Before they take us home Let us sleep Dream no more Until everything we are Is just dust and bone Here’s to a lifetime running with scissors These split lips and bruises Are what make us who we are So cut my palm And let the blood mix with the dirt If all that we have left is time Let’s leave our mark on it In the end We’re all just dead and gone Lay the coins upon our eyes Before they send us home Let us sleep Dream no more Until everything we are Is just dust and bone
