I told you there was a time back then when I still believed
You asked "believed in what" and I said "in anything"
"Well the world's still spinning, and we're still grinning
With cold drinks in our hands"
But you're grading on a curve while
We're sitting on a curb
In a cold and callous land

And you tell me there was a time
I'd laugh at this dramatic trash
That was coming out of my mouth
After too much sour mash
I say the world only spins
When I shut my eyes
And it goes too fucking fast
But then I'm free to dream
About the frequent smiles of a not-too-distant past

You will always run into creeps like me
Who love to swim and drown in negativity
But we want you to strongly disagree
Ignore all the surface signs and prove me wrong

Remind when I first saw the pacific in a sunset glow
Or when we came through
The holland tunnel for our first new york show
But if the winners like these
Are fewer and further between now
The losers like us are too stubborn to ever forget how

To compare and contrast to the best of days
In competitive, unfair, and bullshit ways
Instead of just putting our arms
Around someone we love
You gotta let it go

You will always run into creeps like me
Who love to swim and drown in negativity
But we want you to strongly disagree
Ignore all the surface signs and prove me wrong

Please make sure to remind us
Our best days are not behind us
