The Things We Used To Do

Back in the day when things didn’t matter

We played the game and we played it right

But the days are getting long and sadder

Nobody ever won without a fight



Standing at a stop light

3 AM its blinking red

Been thinking about

That night with you



Back to the day when we were playing in the school yard

Soccer I was the goalie always got the yellow card red card

Didn’t matter we just had fun back in the days when our lives begun



And still to this day we sing-



Running to the back porch

Lights out you lost

Running away from the anger in the air

Black eye bleeding red

Wished you were dead

You only have Two thousand miles to go



Your running so far away

You are already too late

The pain has got you

Drug you down and pushed you around

Get up, your pretty face won’t let you stay down



Back to the days when we were in high school

Didn’t give a fuck, didn’t follow any rule

Making out back behind the soccer field

Didn’t think we’d get caught I was such the fool



3 AM and I am standing at a stop light

Blinking red I think I’ll take the long way home tonight

Thinking about you and that night we had

I want to get to sleep so I don’t have to think until the sun comes up in the mourn…
