Don't believe everything happiness says
Nothing feels better then hiding these days
We bury our fears in the drinks in these tears
For the days we believed we could fly
Call up you're brothers and sisters and friends
We'll go back to the place where the night never ends
We'll remember the fires
The burning car tires
Boy how in the hell did we get here?

[Chorus]
So why don't you meet me down behind our old school
We'll waste away the weekend with perfect regard for how cavalier we used to be
That beautiful insanity the apathy surrounding me

Don't close your eyes or we'll fade, away
Over and over and over again
We sat down for a minute grew up into men
Now we're putting out fires and changing car tires
Man how in the hell did we get here?

[Chorus]

Don't close your eyes or we'll fade away this time
And we'll never get back what we gave away
When we stare at that fire in our eyes

Don't believe everything happiness says
Nothings as real as our old reckless ways
When we drink by the fires the burning car tires
Bad girls and good liars, the dreams we conspired
The days we went crazy, the nights wild and hazy
Man how in the hell did we get here?

[Chorus]

Don't close your eyes or we'll fade away (Away)
