Parade

When the slow parade went past

But it felt so good you knew it couldn’t last

Well all too soon the end is gonna come without a warning

And you have to just go home

And the way it all went by

When somebody said “come on its getting late”

And you thought the world might end if you just look the other way

Now you wish that you had stayed

And there’s so much more that you could see if you just stick around

And all the streetlight secrets whispering for you to come back out

Oh, no, there’s so much more that you need to work out

Oh, no, you don’t want that parade to leave you now

And now

And the days are all the same

In a town so big that no one knows your name

And the people fade away

And all the stars are just a flicker and you’re left there all alone

When there’s so much more that you could see if you just stick around

And all the streetlight secrets whispering for you to come back out

Oh, no, there’s so much more that you need to work out

Oh, no, you don’t want that parade to leave you now

When the music's over but the song stays in your head

Oh, no, there’s so much more that you need to work out

Oh, no, and you don’t want that parade to leave you now

Well there’s so much more that you need to work out

And you don’t want that parade to leave you now
