Don't believe everything happiness says   Nothing feels better than hiding these days   We bury our fears in the drinks, in these tears   For the days we believed we could fly      Call up your brothers and sisters and friends   We'll go back to the place where the night never ends   We'll remember the fires, the burning car tires   Boy, how in the hell did we get here?      So why don't you meet me down behind the old school?   We'll waste away the weekend with perfect regard for how   Cavalier we used to be, that beautiful insanity   The apathy's surrounding me   Don't close your eyes or we'll fade away      Over and over and over again   We sat down for a minute grew up into men   Now we're putting out fires and changing car tires   Man, how in hell did we get here?      So why don't you meet me down behind the old school?   We'll waste away the weekend with perfect regard for how   Cavalier we used to be, that beautiful insanity   The apathy's surrounding me   Don't close your eyes or we'll fade away this time      And we'll never get back what we gave away   When we still have that fire in our eyes   Don't believe everything happiness says   Nothings as real as our old reckless ways      When we drink by the fires, the burning car tires   Bad girls and good liars, the dreams we'd conspire   The days we went crazy, the nights wild and hazy   Man, how in the hell did we get here?      So why don't you meet me down behind the old school?   We'll waste away the weekend with perfect regard for how   Cavalier we used to be, that beautiful insanity   The apathy's surrounding me   Don't close your eyes or we'll fade away      Why don't you meet me down behind the old school?   We'll waste away the weekend with perfect regard for how   Cavalier we used to be, that beautiful insanity   The apathy's surrounding me   Don't close your eyes or we'll fade away
