what are we doing tonight? we've got this whole town in front of us we've lost track of everything we had in mind The next few days are mapped out I've got the paper in my hand circles drawn, wristbands on- we’re pumped up and ready We Sing along to all the old songs with the rhythm in our hearts these anthems made us who we are today we’ve been given chances to take now it’s our move to make do we sit and wait for life to pass us by? the sun’s about to rise over the star filled and clear skies our throats are raw, we’re covered in sweat, and we regret nothing
2.
Verse 1 That cloud still hangs above your head 67 thousand and a world full of regret The panic, the fear, and the unknowning Why did I choose this path again? Goddammit It’s just too late to go back to the beginning Verse 2 And you can’t stay calm just scraping by It’s all I want but it’s so goddamn hard to try And I never want to drag myself out of bed Another day just means reality breathing down my neck Bridge And I don’t know what I’m doing Shit’s scared right out of me Just I just crawl in a hole? Can I forget everything Self-destruction, bad decisions don’t ever come too cheap The thrills, the fun, the excitement of living Now I’ll probably never see Chorus And I know I’m not the only one Stuck down here in this hell
3.
These songs will wreck our hearing but we keep it fucking loud We scream along to choruses and go surfing on the crowds Those nights spend under bridges, warm beers and cigarettes We talk about the times we had and wonder where they went But we’ve all gotten older, some left and moved away But memories still linger and the songs still mean the same So turn up your fucking stereo and scream ‘til you can’t speak And find me under that highway bridge, those places where we’d meet Parking lots in summer time, so hot that we can’t breathe But none of use are leaving until we’re all too tired to see We do the same things and they never got old, just new people that come and go On countless Alabama nights through sweat and freezing cold I don’t care about the battery, I don’t care about the gas Just keep those old songs playing until they run us off at last And na, na, na na na, It’s just another Friday night The laughter and the stories give us all a love for life And it you need a shoulder then come let it out on mine ‘Cause we’re not getting younger, yeah we’re running out of time, we need more time
4.
Tonight We don't have to prove ourselves to anyone. It sinks in We're staring awkwardly As we realize we've said too much We hit all the high points Were thinking about winding down But the music's still blaring And there's time for another round We boasted About our greatest feats And How we plan to rule the world I shot down Your tired gaze With an unrelenting stare Everything's quiet We're thinking of a better way How to live the best life And how to die peacefully

Verse 1 5 weeks wet and I can’t take it Money’s disappearing but I keep drinking When in the fuck will I make it end? Keep saying no, not this evening But I still end up on that stool sitting Come 2am, barely make it out Verse 2 I used to swear I’d never pick up the habit Thought I was above a crutch for leaning But I gave that up and I’ve still yet to look back Conversations flow much faster with the drinks, another beer another shot to know how I’m feeling But I doubt you really give a shit Chorus Break all of those promises to yourself, It’s so much easier than standing by what you once believed Climb off the pedestal you built yourself because you’re not any better You’re just the same as all of them
7.
Verse 1 Same roads, same buildings, and all of the same places It’s like nothing ever changes I see the same faces every day This bicycle can only take me so far, can’t afford to drive my truck So I’ll ride all day to try and shake these feelings Verse 2 Why and how did all of this shit happen? Where did all of this come from? Why won’t it go away? Lasting and unending feelings of loneliness, like no one really gets it Just let me stay in bed Chorus And I know that I won’t always feel this way But now I just can’t shake this. It just won’t go away It goes on and on and on and on and on and on Like nothing ever changes. I need some goddamn changes
8.
verse 1 where we all fall short is turning words into action we surface for air and then bask in the sunlight chorus when did intolerance become a platform this sorry state knows no bounds we come up short every time we're measured a congress of trash needs to be burned. verse 2 the mark of a truly great society is how we treat the least fortunate not how we bow to the whims of those too rich to feel.
