The Things We Knew Last Night

In a day with every shade of green

It filled our minds with silver screens

And held our arms above our heads

And put the world to rights again

You took the good times on the chin

Said ‘hold my drink I’m going in’

And ran into the open sea

Of boys and girls with broken dreams

And, oh, they say

We’re just wasting time

But they don’t know the things we knew last night

They say

We’re just wasting time

But they don’t know the things we knew last night

Last night

When your stomach turns from too much gin

And the cigarettes are wearing thin

You see the boys are trying to fight

Yeah the brightest pricks they shine at night

We wear out hearts upon our sleeves

It’s funny living through times like these

So hold on tight to someone strong

Cause everyone needs someone

And, oh, they say

We’re just wasting time

But they don’t know the things we knew last night

They say

We’re just wasting time

But they don’t know the things we knew last night

Last night

And, oh, they say

We’re just wasting time

But they don’t know the things we knew

And, oh, they say

We’re just wasting time

But they don’t know the things we knew last night

Yeah they don’t know the things we knew last night

Yeah they don’t know the things we knew last night
