[Verse]
CHey Bird, turn the Gradio off and Amcome back inside, the Fbeers are all gone
CThe girls left with summer and we're lGeft here to stay and Amwork out our grudges for the Frest of the day
And we'll go Cback to those nights under Gliving room lights, Amhanging with friends that Fwe've left behind
For Cnow we'll just sit here, Gstuck inside, Amwe're feeling dead but Fyour still alive
[Chorus]
CAnd we dated in Amhighschool,
Fwe thought we were so cool Gsmoking cigarettes
and talkin' bout Ctattoos we would get when we're oldeAmr
when we had the cFash, or the guGts, to rebel.

CHey Bird, the Gstereo's blown, Amwe played it too loud now Fwe're going home.
Theres Cnothing to work towards, we've sGeen it all before, we're jAmust killing time until Fyou say goodbye,
Your Cdead with denial from Gliving room trials so Amhoist up the white flag don't Flive in the clouds.
For Cnow we'll just sit here Gon stand-by, Gwe're glued to concrete but Fyou still can fly.

at all of the Cshows, we never thought we'd get Amcaught,
               F   Gor grow old.
