Hangouts and breakouts I promise tonight
The friendships near ended will put up a fight
Five years and a separation, keeping it together for the celebrations
Who's that and who cares, we're laving tonight
Roll with the punches and put up a fight
Three years and a separation, keeping it together for the celebrations
Sing it with me for today (for all the things we didn't say)
Sing it with me for today (today)
You said you'd phone home,
You said you'd make your way back to the centre
Cash your cheques and post your letters
Where on earth did you go
You said you'd phone home
Setbacks we're off track, I’ll call you tonight
To take back the promise, I'm sorry you're right
Two years countless separations, only stay together for the celebrations
What's this and card tricks, I’ll tell you tonight
That I’m sick and tired of changing the lights
Six years and I’m sick of changing, got to hold it down for the celebrations
This one's for me and all the things I couldn’t see
This one's for all of us who kept it going and never skipped a beat
This one's for me and all the things I couldn’t see
This one's for all of us who kept it going

Giving up a run of bad luck on broken time
I'm feeling better but tired as the days go by
And every moment I breathe I’m thinking I know why
This feels so wrong but right
'Cause you and me are just chemicals
Mixing drinks and wasting time
Call on your best bet, you and me are all you see (you and me are all you see)
Like when we first met, you and me are not the world you wanna see
Just take some time and blame it on me
Out of luck, I’ll give you my heart if you'll take time
To hang it up on your sleeve, blurring straight lines
Every moment we breathe I’m thinking I know why
This feels so wrong but right
Find your place sinking ships in the background
Every theory was broken but tried and true
Find your place sinking ships in the background
Everyone was true except for you

Who do you think you are
You're running round town leaving messages in minds
And hearts you struck last week
Well who are you playing for I need new evidence
This case is a disaster
Nothing good could ever come of this
Oh god I let this happen, but didn't take the blame for it
Where did you go, I need to know
All of the things you said and what you meant by them
I didn't know where life could go
I never thought that I'd spend next summer alone
Exploding, eroding
I need a time or a face
To even make this work
Looking for Alaska
You get into that car
Impulse results you're sure to be just fine
The wine you drank last week has seeped inside the cracks of my stability
All I need is clarity and the world to see
All I need is for this to be continued

You hear the thoughts creeping through your mind
Don't wait, too late, you haven't much time
You're downing in your thoughts
They're running through your head
Your life the knifes edge
The deadlines sinking in
As you're losing sleep
You seek the answers
But the chances are looking meek
Don't hold your breath for too long or you'll fall
On the promises you made, you've broken them all
We are the lost boys running from the world
We'd do anything to stay at the beginning
In this sinking ship, we're falling past the brink
As the lines blur, as my words slur
You're sinking in your plans
As you stand leaning closer and closer to breaking point
Your life seems alright from the outside
But look a bit closer it's all just a lie
You're hearing the story of my life
Can you feel yourself living through me
Can you feel it moving though you
Don't break away just yet
Have we met, I don't really know
But the stresses are messing with my head
So we'll see in the end
If I will find a way to cope
Let's just hope

Everybody I know
Is living a little more
Than the days we spent wasting time
But I'll never be quite sure
Of the wasted nights and childish fights
We never seem to get it right
Soon enough we'll be 18 forever
Waiting waiting forever
For more than a day spent waiting on the weather
Sleeping sleeping forever
Another day is wasted
But you're gonna have to face it
It's 11am get out of that bed
It seems the day is wasted
But it was never there
Forcing thoughts and melodies
Phasing out the ones i need
Soon enough we'll be 18 forever
I never thought you'd need
All the thoughts you erase
All the space I create in your
Picture perfect life
I won't buy what you sell
But I'll bring you back to life
