You told me that your 20 years
Has gone by much too fast
And you’ve been hoping this year will be
Better than the last
You said you’ve been waging a war
Against the lonelist of nights
With the strongest drinks and longest lines
Its not that big a surprise
That you’re feeling more dead than alive x2
(chorus)
So I’ll let you know
If you need somewhere to go
I’ll be listening when you call and i’ll be there if you fall off
If you need someone to believe in you
I’ll let you know I will
You said the whole in your head has gotten bigger than the hole thats in your
chest
And you’re stuck between the past and present tense
Said you’ve been waging a war against so many years of lies
With stronger drinks and longer lines
Its not that big a surprise
That you’re feeling more dead than alive x2
Chorus
I’ll let you know i will x3
So this pen is starting to become
A pipe bomb and these songs
Have turned to anthems again
To everything that’s changed and to everything that’s gone away
Here are my condolences tot he future I never met
It’s gone and never coming back, it’s not coming back
So don’t hold on to your past, you gotta let it go
'Cause friends leave as time fades away
The people and the places along the way
Without a doubt
Screws fall in and screws they fall out
Tomorrow’s gone up in smoke
And I wonder when I’m alone
Where’d my convictions go
So to everyone that’s gone away
Or fades away or stays the same
Here are my apologies to the person that I used to be
Before I burned down every bridge and every inch
Of everything I used to know, I gotta let it go
Friends leave as time fades away
The people and the places along the way
So don’t hold on to your past
No, it’s never coming back, you gotta let it go
This song just sums up why this was their best work, even over Hello Rockview. Every song ranks among their best. Even the Cheap Trick cover (Surrender) held its own to the original. Classic album. Turns 12 years old next month
