Wandering the K-10 As anniversaries end,
Pondering events that brought us here.
If anyone remember when Around the world and back again
Was a dream not quite so clear?
Overwhelms Over the hills and away Was not a mistake.
Did that straight and narrow,
Nailed self-righteous arrow Get to be so decadent?
Could you trade your lessons To have grown up in the process?
Remarks never relent.
Learned by your examples
And we learned by your mistakes.
Argue our positions, It's a decision that we have to make.
It's not a mistake If we had known What we know now:
One year later, we'd still be around.
Got your full attention Over hours of speculation,
Don't you know who knows:? I know.
Finally make decisions? Finally work it out?
Finally let it go?
We're not running backwards.
Don't you know, That we love reunion shows.
This is not a swan song: But it goes:
If we had known what we know now:
One year later, we'd still be around.
If we had known what we know now:
One year later, we'd still be around,
around, around.

you're got some nerve
i never knew what with the world we gave
away in front of you
i see it all much clearer now
you're just a phase
i've gotten over anyhow
it's over
i'm not giving in again
we're loyal like brothers, just us versus all the others
i trusted misleading promises worth repeating
how could you do this to me?
red letter day that i learn i'm sure you get what you deserve
i see it all much clearer since i'm far past the point
of this if it's a lie i don't want to be the one who signed
i'm not the one who falls down
it's over now
if you want to try... try and forget it
it's over
i'm gone

I think I've waited long enough.
Our world was once forget-me-nots
And now I wait another year.
Now I wait another year. I need you here.
I think I've heard this one before,
But it's not you walking through my door.
And now I wait another year.
Now I wait another year. I need you here.
I need you here. I need you here. I need you here.
Don't bother it now, Let sleepers lie.
Bygones have all gone by.
Forgot what we fought for, Hard as I might,
Don't have the will to fight.
Forgive & forget Whatever was said
Because we're growing up By the hour.
I never would let It go on like it did:
All good things Have endings.
Forgive & forget Whatever was said
All good things Have endings.
Don't bother it now, Let sleepers lie.
Bygones have all gone by.
Forgot what we fought for, Hard as I might,
Don't have the will to fight.
Don't bother it now, Let sleepers lie.
Bygones have all gone by.
Forgot what we fought for, Hard as I might,
Don't have the will to fight.

Sooner or later more,
These words to paper pour.
Compose apologies, To bring you back to me.
What words were written for:
One girl whose pages tore.
I'll bet you never knew, With a letter came a fool for you.
She says she'd worked it out,
This room's not big enough for two.
He swears she'd work his words out, If she ever knew.
How do I find her, Bearing my heart in hand.
Last winter, Anne Arbour Was all I had.
I still wear your heart around my throat
I still wear your heart around my throat
With barely the air not to choke.
Never, not ever again.
I finally replaced every promise you've taken away.
Now that it's over, I'm older and colder this way.
I finally replaced every promise you've taken away.
How do I find her, Bearing my heart in my hand.
Last winter, Anne Arbour was all I had.

I wonder when I wander home If I'll be fit to drink alone.
Sleep with my memories, Pictures, apologies.
For every minute yesterday, Regret reminds me anyway.
If I remember anything, I'll make mistakes again.
Last night on the Mass Pike, Thought I was losing you.
Last night on the Mass Pike, I fell in love with you.
I will declare a holiday, The night that she turned me away.
I'm drowning in my miseries It solves everything.
Last night on the Mass Pike, Thought I was losing you.
Last night on the Mass Pike, I fell in love with you.
With you.
Last night on the Mass Pike, Thought I was losing you.
Last night on the Mass Pike, I fell in love with you.
Last night on the Mass Pike, Thought I was losing you.
Last night on the Mass Pike, I fell in love with you.

We can not work out what has to be said.
An image painted black in the back of my head.
It came so clear last night,
you showed me that your words mean more than actions do.
I was listening to you.
Someone is listening,
that someone is you.
You build me up,
you break me down again
and I take it.
If this night,
if this kiss were something real.

It's been proven, hundreds over since,
the decision was the best that we could make.
If I wasn't clear enough before...
that's not what I said,
and I bent over backwards just to speak.
If you've got things straight in your head
then you've got bigger problems than me.
I'll send you straight to your room
until you calm down,
until you're thought through what you want to say.
This isn't me,
as much as it may seem
and you're still thinking...
That's not what I said
and I bent over backwards just to speak.
If you won't let sleeping dogs die
then I'm giving up on this one.

If I told you that I was thinking of moving east,
would you save a place for me?
I'll come home cause it's worse that I expected.
A place in my heart for my home to the west
where we'll watch the same sunsets,
and when I doubt...
I'll look east and lock my heart in a brass box
to newfound mass.
I'm breaking off but this is my home.
I'd do anything for you,
give you the world if I could.
Is that what you want me to do?
These bridges and boundaries are bringing me closer to you.

They're my reasons for getting over this
and it's not much better than waking up
with your head in your hands,
and your arms are tired from supporting...
It's better in the long run,
but this is the worst day of my life.
I'm giving in,
this can't be much better than dying.
I'm going back to my selfish ways,
I'm giving up what I could forget.
I've tried, it came out better the first time.
If this is all you see then have a drink on me
and look who's laughing now.
