Grab your coat I'll meet you at the World Cup down on Robinson Street and then We'll ride our bikes To Chugger's for some cheap beer and some karaoke and Those moments faded fast But they're still such a part of me And those days are dead and gone But they're living on inside of me And our parents said "enjoy it while it lasts" But what did they know anyway When Thursday nights meant dimly lit street lamps And a dance party on Franklin Street Six to a car We're going to the train tracks down at West Point to see The lantern man Then Clifton for the Bunny Man Bridge that shit still scares me Park your car behind the bridge Take seven steps in to the woods You'll see all you want to see The lady at seven eleven told me And our parents said "enjoy it while it lasts" But what did they know anyway When Friday nights meant beer on Wentz's porch And a couch burning on West Grace Street

Better days do lie ahead At least that's what the daily said They're crafting stories, pushing pens On the trusting populace Read me And you'll find out I'm all the news that's fit to print And the stories Will pan out The future's looking pretty dim Bolt your doors, your windows latch The evening news has told me that A killer's coming to bust down your door Just like the hundred times before This evening You will see All the news on your TV But sometimes You'll find out It's only what they want you to see

Lying awake My worries overtaking me now And then you throw your arm around me And I know that we'll make somehow And I Won't just lay down And die With you by my side There is no telling how Things will always work out Together we can bury those doubts Put your hand in mine There was a time I couldn't plant my feet on the ground The house shook from the tremors outside So you carried me so I wouldn't fall down

Have you ever seen The sunset on the Chickahominy Ten people sleeping on the floor I got there late and I couldn't open the god damned door And all good things Must come to an end Even between The strongest of friends And still I sing it now I hope the summer never ends Because maybe we would still be friends Relationships are prone to change Just look at the choice we made I don't want to point the blame Time will take it's course and friends they will be replaced We would still We would still be We would still We would still be I hope the summer never ends

He held her by the hand Then fell down to one knee And said "know I trust in you Please say you'll trust in me" "I could never give you up" She said most definitely "And this ring is a symbol of My undying love unto thee" And they exchanged words That had a sort of tangible meaning And then they made promises they'd keep It was the proper thing to do It was the way they thought they knew He walked her to car She fumbled for her keys And said "I won't tell on you If you don't tell on me" "I could never give you up" He said most definitely While his wife just sat at home Flipping channels on their TV Remember when words They had some sort of tangible meaning And people made promises they'd keep And people thought about the things they'd say And how they lived their lives from day to day Was a reflection of their best intents And not just the step they thought was next Remember when words They had some sort of tangible meaning And people made promises they'd keep It was the proper thing to do It was the way they thought they knew They thought they knew

Have you ever stopped to look Have you even stopped to think about The things you do and say And how they aren't the same You move so swiftly With a devious intent But no one knows what you're doing Until you've done it to them This could be the future But in my eyes It looks more like a case of The right place at the right time It doesn't matter how hard you may drive Sometimes you just can't stick the perfect lie It doesn't matter how hard you may try You won't stick that lie Do you remember The things you said to me It wasn't so long ago When you spoke with sincerity I used to be believe it There was a message without words Now everything I hear Just sounds so fucking absurd Now tell me how does it feel now To have to carry those doubts It's such a heavy burden Trying to figure it out Like a race to the finish Where nobody drew the line And everybody's all done now And the struggle is all mine
