Drinking every single night and mostly on our own,
Trying to run-and-hide from those ghosts that haunt us when we mourn,
As if though, sober, we can't feel anything but regret.
What should be paramount is to forgive, not forget!
One sad night, every year, we drown ourselves in beer,
A destructive ritual based on our fleeting fears.
We dance, we sing, we drink, hug and then we cheer,
Then the lights turn off, we walk home and maybe shed a tear.
Once on our heart's last beat,
A second time when our name is lost from our memory.
Hungover the next morning, asking "what went so wrong?"
Slowly remember stories that went on and on all night long.
Strangely enough everytime we get to know you more and more.
Too many things about you to fit into just one song.
Once in our heart's last beat,
Secondly when our name is lost from our memory.
We now stand stronger, you and I.
Together as brothers until we die.
No need for sorrow in fields of rye.
Your name sung forever, until the end of time.
Even if it kills ya, you keep on goin' on.
Even if it kills ya, tomorrow you'll say your wrong.
Everything in life that's worth it is hard to do.
Everybody thinks it's worse for them; that's also true.
Everywhere there are people shattered, the same as you
No matter what you do, you keep on hangin' on.
No matter what you do, you keep on standin' strong.
No matter what we do, we'll remember you in this song.
