It's such a shame We spent so much time wishing away Those hazy nights by the carnival lights We didn't worry about a thing Where are we going Just don't ask me where I've been I swear the dreams will be the death of me Or just break my bones again Is it only a fool that dreams like this I hang my head upon the romance Of a youth I wasted away Spent fifteen years among the diamonds and hearts Singing songs of the better days To tell you the truth, if I ever could I think I'd do it all again What do you think about the afterlife Do you think it has those neon signs And the radio plays your favourite songs on repeat I think I could get used to it Tangled up in that midnight American kiss And the streetlight silhouette weighs on the back of my neck But it was easier then It's getting dark enough to rest my head upon the romance Of a youth I wasted away Spent fifteen years among the diamonds and hearts Singing songs of the better days To tell you the truth, if I ever could I think I'd do it all again I swear these dreams will be the death of me Or just break my bones again
