lyrics

Verse 1:
Let's start things off where all good things should start.
Before I swore I'd take one but then took a whole lot,
Before my heroes were dying like they knew something I did not.

Let's kick things off where all good things should kick.
If I could have kept a band together, I promise you this:
We could have been big, man. We could have been big.

I pray that push comes to shove, heaven above
Save me from everything

Ya know, these days I just can't quite sleep through the night.
I guess it's stress, or maybe this is just being alive.

Chorus:
I asked my mother, "Tell me, what will I become?"
She said, "I hope you'll be numb."
I asked my father what I'll be when I am grown
He said, "I pray you'll die young"

Oh, give me some kind of sign.
Oh, tell me we'll be fine.

Verse 2:
Let's begin with the beguine.
By the time the wolves arrived at my door I'd cried so much I just couldn't cry anymore.

Everything is everything is everything.
Ya know, I've raised the flags, and I've seen the signs, and I've wondered, "Do their flags look better than mine?"

CHORUS

Verse 3:
Let's call it quits when it comes time to quit.
I've got this one picture left of all of us together, and we don't look nearly as happy as I remembered.
Let's drink it all before the whole bottle sours.
Man, there's this song on repeat, but I can't bear to hear it.
I need space for my sanity, and six inches for the holy spirit.

And I said, "Lord, let this be my time."

Oh, give me some kind of sign.
Oh, tell me we'll be fine.
