All My Friends

That's how it starts

We go back to your house

You check the charts

And start to figure it out

And if it's crowded, all the better

Because we know we're gonna be up late

But if you're worried about the weather

Then you picked the wrong place to stay

That's how it starts

And so it starts

You switch the engine on

We set controls for the heart of the sun

One of the ways we show our age

And if the sun comes up, if the sun comes up

If the sun comes up and I still don't wanna stagger home

Then it's the memory of our betters

That are keeping us on our feet

You spent the first five years trying to get with the plan

And the next five years trying to be with your friends again

You're talking forty-five turns just as fast as you can

Yeah, I know it gets tired, but it's better when we pretend

It comes apart

The way it does in bad films

Except in parts

When the moral kicks in

Though we're running out of the drugs

And the conversation's grinding away

I wouldn't trade one stupid decision

For another five years of life

You drop the first ten years just as fast as you can

And the next ten people who are trying to be believed

When you're blowing eighty-five days in the middle of this

Yeah, I know it gets tired only wearing on friends tonight

To tell the truth

Oh, this could be the last time

So when we go

Like a sail's force into the night

And if I made a fool, if I made a fool

If I made a fool on the road, there's always this

And if I'm sewn into submission

I can still come home to this

And with a face like a dad and a laughable stand

You leave conceit on the plane or review what you said

When you're drunk and the kids look impossibly tired

You think over and over, hey, I finally did

Oh, if the trip and the plan come apart in your hand

You look concerted on yourself your ridiculous prop

You forgot what you meant when you read what you said

And you always knew you were tired, but then

Where are your friends tonight?

Where are your friends tonight?

Where are your friends tonight?

If I could see all my friends tonight

If I could see all my friends tonight

If I could see all my friends tonight

If I could see all my friends tonight
