lyrics

Moments are far more significant
Once they’ve grown into a memory.
Don’t forget the sweat and the blistered palms.
Your mouth is dry, let’s wash it all away.

Help me peel off these jeans, it’s time for a costume change.
Let’s prepare for the next scene.

It isn’t lights out ‘till 9,
That’s when the night comes alive.
Walk through the smoke with me.

It’s 1am and, yeah, they know you.

Fleeting youth, where is it headed?
The path’s unclear to you, but you’re gonna let it.
Don’t forget the tears and the piano keys,
Your blood-stained cheek, let’s wash it all away.

Age, it doesn’t matter, there’s death and life.
Prepare for the former but don’t waste the latter.

It isn’t lights out ‘till 9,
That’s when the night comes alive.
Walk through the smoke with me.

It’s 2am and, yeah, they know you.

And you’ll tell your kids that your saw the sun,
And the stories you weave are the one’s they’ll love.
With each step you took the sidewalk formed
Moving forward toward the life you chose.

The right place was when it was the right time,
And time was always on somebody’s side.
You saw their eyes they don’t have to show you.

It’s 3am and, yeah, they know you.
