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

Your Hand in Mine

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
