Any Other Way

about

This song is about friends and bands, bands and friends.

For the people that get it.

lyrics

Should I say I'm getting older? If I'm still saying next years for me.
"Get up! Your good for nothing!" but I'm everything I want to be.
They'll say that you'll live and die here and "Kid, you were born to lose."
Well it's a pity your still around here, holding on to some empty youth.
________________________________________________________________

To the sound of the needle on the record, we passed out on the basement floor.
Now I'm bruised and broke (too many smokes), maybe we waste our day, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
________________________________________________________________

It's another night spent in the gutter, but I know I'll never be alone.
We're the kids that were forgotten, in this town we call our own.
________________________________________________________________

To the sound of the needle on the record, we passed out on the basement floor.
Now I'm bruised and broke (too many smokes), maybe we waste our day, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
________________________________________________________________

So come on try to tell me I'm wrong about this.

No matter how much you piss and moan you can never make those days return.
