It's just you and me and my new apartment dream Screaming, "why don't we just watch it all from here?" I got TV and I sold off everything Do it for, for just another year So, goodbye to our holiday plans We'll just stay here instead and turn on the lights Who said that our future is free To be whatever we please? Why don't we just stay home tonight? We can make up stories, candlelight Watch our aging faces in the mirror Sleep away our dreams, year after year Sleep away our dreams, year after year We live for the money, lie for the greed And die for the memory It's you and me and my failed Econ degree Screaming, "let's move to the desert on a hill!" 'Cause I can see just as clear as I need To know they'd even sell God for a couple mill So, goodbye to our holiday plans We'll just stay here instead and turn on the lights Who said that the future is free To be whatever we please, 'cause that's a lie I picked up some flowers from the store And they charged me just for keeping the receipt Who said that the future is free? Why don't we just stay home tonight? We can make up stories, candlelight Watch our aging faces in the mirror Sleep away our dreams Why don't we step out of the light? Give up trying without a fight Watch all our money disappear Sleep away our dreams, year after year Sleep away our dreams, year after year Sleep away our dreams, year after year
