Old School (Album Version)

Don't believe everything happiness says

Nothing feels better than hiding these days

We bury our fears in the drinks, in these tears

For the days we believed we could fly

Call up your 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?

So why don't you meet me down behind the old school?

We'll waste away the weekend with perfect regard

For how cavalier we used to be that beautiful insanity

The apathy's 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?

So why don't you meet me down behind the old school?

We'll waste away the weekend with perfect regard

For how cavalier we used to be that beautiful insanity

The apathy's surrounding me

Don't close your eyes or we'll fade away this time

And we'll never get back what we gave away

When we still have 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'd conspire

The days we went crazy, the nights wild and hazy

Man, how in the hell did we get here?

So why don't you meet me down behind the old school?

We'll waste away the weekend with perfect regard

For how cavalier we used to be that beautiful insanity

The apathy's surrounding me

Don't close your eyes or we'll fade

Why don't you meet me down behind the old school?

We'll waste away the weekend with perfect regard

For how cavalier we used to be that beautiful insanity

The apathy's surrounding me

Don't close your eyes or we'll fade
