What with everyone arriving here We should celebrate another year Go on dress up in your late night best With your hair wet, we’ll count a slow ten, while the screen’s set Loud enough for knocks on doors We will welcome in they’ll just ignore When I find you pacing on the porch If your friends ask, you caught a cab back, couldn’t quite last Come back empty Here’s to endings Wondering when are we gonna learn Everything that you need in reverse Coming in, feel you touch when you turn Moving full speed Everyone that we know’s growing up Maybe so, honey old isn’t love And everything I could want is in front Not behind me We will wake into this morning’s mess Couches covered in our sleeping friends When they wrote us off we rose again
And in your t-shirt, you feel the cold burn, and say it’s our turn (*3) Come back empty Here’s to endings Wondering when are we gonna learn Everything that you need in reverse Coming in, feel you touch when you turn Moving full speed Everyone that we know’s growing up Maybe so, honey old isn’t love And everything I could want is in front Not behind me We could take it back to when we touched down I could make a bed against your floor I could hear you talk over your faucet Telling me the things you know for sure Even if they hear us in the hallway Listening for things we can’t take back I could put a hand upon your waist Or we could waste the one thing that we have ‘Til it’s gone
