The Next 23 Years
Friends I thought were so amazing
Don't seem so important anymore
All the bottles and ashtrays
Are just a vague, vague memory
The nights that I spent hoping
That I'd stay asleep
Was that just somebody?
Someone who looked like me?
Lift your glasses with me
Lift your voices with me
And stay with me until the sun rises above the ocean
Sing with me until your voices crack from the emotion
Since we bled together
I'm not so fucked up anymore
I'm starting to remember
That there's so much worth fighting for
Have I started too late?
Am I gonna make it through?
I wake up some nights shaking
What have I done to myself?
The longing I've been feeling
Forgetting all the pain from yesterday
I'm struggling to remember
There are good, good things ahead for me
Lift your glasses with me
Lift your voices with me
And stay with me until the sun rises above the ocean
Sing with me until your voices crack from the emotion
Since we bled together
I'm not so fucked up anymore
I'm starting to remember
That there's so much worth fighting for
Sixteen I was lying in bed
I was wishing all my friends were dead
I was begging to just hold on
But this could be enough
Sobbing drunk screaming for this to end
Attending funerals of brothers and friends
I thought I was going insane
But this could be enough
(Sixteen I was lying in bed) It's 2 AM
(I was wishing all my friends were dead) No Mom, I'm not drunk
(I was begging to just hold on) Thanks for listening all the time
(But this could be enough) When I feel broken
(Sobbing drunk screaming for this to end) It's September
(Attending funerals of brothers and friends) Dad let's go back to San Antonio
(I thought I was going insane) I wanted to tell you
(But this could be enough) I think I got it better this time
(Survived a tour in the burning heat) Hey little sister
(Drinking 40's in the city's streets) I'm just happy that we're friends at last
(Can we do it all again?) Through all the bullshit of the past
(Cause this could be enough) We're strong as ever
(And I still make mistakes in my life) Tara darling
(It's okay if we make them side by side) Thanks for keeping me from growing old too fast
(Now I really believe that) I really believe that
This could be enough
Don't seem so important anymore
All the bottles and ashtrays
Are just a vague, vague memory
The nights that I spent hoping
That I'd stay asleep
Was that just somebody?
Someone who looked like me?
Lift your glasses with me
Lift your voices with me
And stay with me until the sun rises above the ocean
Sing with me until your voices crack from the emotion
Since we bled together
I'm not so fucked up anymore
I'm starting to remember
That there's so much worth fighting for
Have I started too late?
Am I gonna make it through?
I wake up some nights shaking
What have I done to myself?
The longing I've been feeling
Forgetting all the pain from yesterday
I'm struggling to remember
There are good, good things ahead for me
Lift your glasses with me
Lift your voices with me
And stay with me until the sun rises above the ocean
Sing with me until your voices crack from the emotion
Since we bled together
I'm not so fucked up anymore
I'm starting to remember
That there's so much worth fighting for
Sixteen I was lying in bed
I was wishing all my friends were dead
I was begging to just hold on
But this could be enough
Sobbing drunk screaming for this to end
Attending funerals of brothers and friends
I thought I was going insane
But this could be enough
(Sixteen I was lying in bed) It's 2 AM
