Got to sail high and bail out
You are falling, it [bad word] down
And it always [bad word] down
But it's alright now

Sit down, my son
I told you that my time is out
And I'm falling down, got it all worked out
Now I said to you that you would

But if it ever came down to one day
One day left in a thousand
The last good times of summer
And the last few minutes of warmth
Remember what it was like to enjoy our time
Before we all go back to school and learn
Before our eyes turn grey again
And we forget what it was ever like to feel awake, to feel awake

So is this why I feel so cold?
There's too much panic I've been told
And every time I show I see the way it used to go
I need to see that every year
But not to hear it so clear, so clear

The nights were so much harder then
We all hung out and made amends
It's like you can't go back, but hearing that just makes me want to
Call my friends and tell them that [bad word] home

Feeling it all, singing it all (loops continuously in background through next verse)

The nights were so much harder then
We all hung out and made amends
It's like you can't go back, but knowing that just makes me want to
Call my friends and tell them that [bad word] home
