Dan's Song

Me and my friend Dan are gonna get some beers
And then we're gonna go down to the park and drink them there
We'll bask out in the song, bring a guitar and play some songs
Call up our friends and invite them out to share
What might be the last weekend of the Summer
'Cause September's getting colder as it goes
And we haven't done enough of this simple kind of stuff this year
It's clear we're getting older and it shows

Well work weeks make us weary now
And school's a distant memory
It's easy to ask questions of ourselves
Like where it is we're going now
And what we had to show for all the sunny days shut up in the shells
Of expectations of our ultimate directions
Of the stations that we should have reached by now
When we haven't read the script and our tender wings are clipped
And yeah we're scared we might be letting someone down

Listen to these heartbreak songs when nothing's really wrong
And we smile when we're asked and we say that we're fine
We're drifting through our middle days and creeping into middle age
Setting in our ways but now it's time to decide
Now it's time to draw a line in the sand
And ask what's more important than days like today
So grab some beers, call your friends and meet us here
In the Summer park with me and my friend, Dan
