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 d** 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
