We don't speak too much these days That is to say we Haven't talked for years So some things move when others stay No one said we were wise beyond out years So let's go downstairs, Just like we did at your birthday party Some thing remain to be undone The goal posts are always moving don't you think You said "you're my number one" You said "living on the west coast really stinks So lets go hide out and laugh Just like we did at your birthday party We'll drink away those doubts And swallow every pill that left you smarting The pheonix, the telephone; a back handed apology I know what I said to you And I know how it feel to be half way wrong There's one more candle left to light Of Second chances or the ghosts of days gone by A flash of incandescent light Just like the ones that you blew out, they don't go out So let's go downstairs j Ust like we did at your birthday party So let's go downstairs Just like we did, yeah like we did It always ends up there Between the lines where everything started
