I was reading comic books and we were sharing dirty looks,
yeah we were sharing dirty looks and beer
And I was rolling cigarettes while you were putting on your dress and we both agreed it had been a shitty year
A shitty year, it was shitty beer we drank that night to dull our fear and we both regretted it when we woke up
But we'll do it again, you know we will,
ya we'll do it again and we'll regret it still,
what else is there to do on a Friday night?
Guess I could stay at home and write shitty poems,
and feel lonely 'cuz I am alone,
at least solitude results in fewer hangovers..
Or I could call you up again, and we'd reminisce about way back when
but we both forgot so long ago..
We forgot our lives from long ago,
don't deny it 'cuz I know you know,
no matter what things will never be the same
So no matter how much we drink tonight, nothing's gonna make it right,
no amount of booze could ever dull the pain
(Whistle Solo!)
"It's just not fair", you said to me
one night in bed, we were half asleep,
"it's just not fair that we were born to die"
"life's not fair, yes i agree, but no one said it was gonna be,
it doesn't do no good to wonder why"..
I wonder why these things keep happening, it was better once but now I see, that everyone keeps looking towards the sky
the sky is black, yea the sky is cold,
my parents now are growing old,
I wonder if they noticed time flash by?
And now I wonder..
As i grow older..
will i ever?
feel like letting go..
