1.
She twirled her ring when she said, “I had famous friends, But they went down the ribbons and left. And frayed the ends Of my hopeful twenties And my dreams of the east” And I chase her streaks down silent weeks Cause she keeps her hand just out of reach And I drove past a victim’s tribute When he died there was nothing to do But tie flowers on the fences in twos And watch the wind Blow the things that I knew Through the long afternoon It’s why I lie in a bind for you And I’ll drink less wine for you And I’ll be on time for you
2.
Sometimes I sleep with my Windows open wide Like the whisper of the wind will preach in time And tell me of a trick you pulled Of a carnival ride Of a lifetime filled with parables And this Is my final wish That I understand the midnight band The symphonies that get under my skin And work hard to pull you in And quit wishing it were Different all the time La da da da da da da da La da da da da da da Well that's one more kid to suicide La da da da da da da da La da da da da da da It's a fairy tale that won't say goodnight
3.
We cannot be friends Until you agree to a timely end And we say that we fade into the night Into the night We feel most alive When we have to say goodbye And when you’re 21 you feel like your 55 Cause your friends won’t be behind you But they’ll want to sing, sweet, into your eyes Into your eyes I want to take you in my hands And see the innocence that passes through us all Cause in my mind you’re still 16, but you want to be 21 But let me tell you I’m 21 and I feel like I’m 55 Cause my mom won’t be 35 again And she’ll never sing me to sleep again
4.
Shake, your tiny fist at me, it’s tearing up my sleeve As we slowly sink We, keep making fun of God, with wands and angry fits But she still knows it’s Time to let it go And it’s time to let it go We, make a compass in the street, we point at everything So we keep spinning And we, spy possibilities, drink wine and then retreat To the feet of the stars To the seats of our cars And your scars are in a row And I blushed and you didn’t know But it’s time to let it go And she said, “I won’t be around No I won’t be around to see your worst But I still have your shirt ‘Cause it smells like your long, blond curse”
