The kids are down
Grab a drink and we'll talk about our lives
As sunset fades.
Just a backdrop to our revelry.
Can you believe
It's been years since I've seen your face?
Tell tall tales
'Bout where we've been and where we wanna go
Of how we've grown
But we're the same as we used to be.
It feels so sweet
To see your face and to just be seen
And we drink and we laugh and we stay up far too late
That's the way the soul breathes
I love to see
Our children carry on like we use to do.
I never thought
I'd see your smile on someone else's face.
Could we have dreamed
The world around us could ever be so strange?
So we talk about books that we bought but we never read
And our lives grow up like trees.
We use to dream about livin'
Now life has got us by the tail
And some days get through
Just to get some sleep.
Now we think about saving,
Medicine, mortality
What we'll leave from them
And all the love we get to keep.
A couple days
We play our games and say "I wish that you could stay"
A couple days
You pack your bags and you drive away.
All that stays
a couple pictures and hazy memories
The next day we send texts about plans that we'll never make
That the way an old friend leaves
In five years it'll feel like you only just drove away
That's how much you mean to me
