lyrics
Rewind the tape
One last time for old times' sake
For all my friends who can’t relate to me anymore
Turn it up
And let the music fill our ears
Until it’s louder than our fears
It’s what we came for
Mugshot for the news feed
You can say that you knew me
Back when I was losing it
And you liked me more
Lately
I can’t shake it
Something awesome
Gonna happen
So drag me
Kicking
Screaming
From my dreaming
Cause I’m not waking up
Once again
I try to reason with regret
I lay in someone else’s bed
I barely know
And my mistakes
Are laying restless in their graves
But we can dance to their refrain
Until tomorrow
Fell behind on paying my dues
Heard this city don’t take I.O.U.s
There’s no market here for 30-something-blues
But anyway
Lately
I can’t shake it
Something awesome
Gonna happen
So drag me
Kicking
Screaming
From my dreaming
Cause I’m not waking up
But if I ever strike a balance
If I ever find the answer
Somewhere between the panic
and delusions of grandeur
In a beautiful house
In a beautiful town
With a beautiful life
And not much else to talk about
I’ll be down in the basement
All the rest of my days spent
Singing to no one in particular
That pure entertainment
In a beautiful house
In a beautiful town
With a beautiful life
And not much else to talk about
One last time for old times' sake
For all my friends who can’t relate to me anymore
Turn it up
And let the music fill our ears
Until it’s louder than our fears
It’s what we came for
Mugshot for the news feed
You can say that you knew me
Back when I was losing it
And you liked me more
Lately
I can’t shake it
Something awesome
Gonna happen
So drag me
Kicking
Screaming
From my dreaming
Cause I’m not waking up
Once again
I try to reason with regret
I lay in someone else’s bed
I barely know
And my mistakes
Are laying restless in their graves
But we can dance to their refrain
Until tomorrow
Fell behind on paying my dues
Heard this city don’t take I.O.U.s
There’s no market here for 30-something-blues
But anyway
Lately
I can’t shake it
Something awesome
Gonna happen
So drag me
Kicking
Screaming
From my dreaming
Cause I’m not waking up
But if I ever strike a balance
If I ever find the answer
Somewhere between the panic
and delusions of grandeur
In a beautiful house
In a beautiful town
With a beautiful life
And not much else to talk about
I’ll be down in the basement
All the rest of my days spent
Singing to no one in particular
That pure entertainment
In a beautiful house
In a beautiful town
With a beautiful life
And not much else to talk about
