Don't walk away, don't walk away
The orchestra can play another day
Give it some time, don't live for goodbyes
If you touch on a dream, there's still time to be kind
The songs today aren't fast anyway
It's "a time we'll remember" is what we used to say
The adult crash is when you come in last
When you stop, reminisce on all the things that we had run past
In between...
Where we're heading, where we've been, something's missing
Went to the window, just to take in the free show
Put on an old song, it takes me back from the window
You write the words, and then you sing your words
And then they live your words, and then they eat your words
But hey, here's to changing
New colors over the painting
And so we say, here's to changing
Don't hang onto what I'm saying
Don't walk away, don't walk away
All the guilt that has built can wait another day
Crucial times got pushed to the side
Salad days, so they say
Too bad you can't rewind
Potential friends, enemies in the end
All the nights filled with fights, nothing was positive
I'm still through with your f**ing lies
Licked my hand, slapped your face
And then I said goodbye
But sometimes, looking back
Miss my friends, all the laughs and the good times
Went to the window, just to take in the free show
Put on an old song, it takes me back from the window
You write the words, and then they sing your words
And then they live your words, and then you eat your words
But hey, here's to changing
New colors over the painting
And so we say, here's to the good times
Fading out all the bad times
You can't pin an identity on me
I love so many things
I gave you everything I had
Can't you see that there was nothing left that I could give?
And I still don't know what you expect to see from me
Except that I've never been the one that could easily forget
Went to the window, just to take in the free show
Put on an old song, it takes me back from the window
Write the words, and then they sing your words
And then they live your words, and then you eat your words
But hey, looking out from the window
I can't forget all you people
