When all you want to do is rock
But you don't want to bear the shock no more
When it's just swell that fills your eyes
Belated feelings that you have denied

When every wolf is at your door
Just like a million times before
But you don't want to leave the end
'Cause you were amazing

And we did amazing things
And I wouldn't change it
'Cause we were amazing things

Rebuilding bridges in your mind
Your eagerness now is on the line
The plastic mountain at your feet
Divided streets now as you look to find a seat

When every wolf is at your door
Just like a hundred times before
But you don't want to see the end

'Cause you were amazing
And we did amazing things
And I wouldn't change it
'Cause we were amazing things

And I really didn't want to push today
No I really didn't want to end this way
But the things that seem to bind us
Are the things we put behind us on this day

'Cause you were amazing
And we did amazing things
And I wouldn't change it
'Cause we were amazing things
