(I know) just a buncha crazy kids
Look at all the things we did
Never thought it'd end like this
(Woah-ho-woah, wake up)
Playin' in the high-school band
Never really had a plan
Made it to the promised land
(Woah-woah)
(So here's a toast)
To me and you and every single show
(Cheers, a toast)
To livin' fast but always dancin' slow
(Here's a toast)
To sayin' yes whenever I said no
If this is goodbye (if this is goodbye)
Let's take one more shot for the memories
Life's too short to be enemies
And if this ends tonight, yeah (if this еnds tonight)
You can save your tears for the othеr guys
I'll see you in another life
(I know) every story has to end
We may never comprehend
What a crazy ride it's been (woah-ho-oh-oh-woah)
(Oh, no) we may never be best friends
For a couple hours, we can
For a couple hours, pretend
(So here's a toast)
To me and you and every single show
(Cheers, a toast)
To livin' fast but always dancin' slow
(Here's a toast)
To sayin' yes whenever I said no
If this is goodbye, yeah (if this is goodbye)
Let's take one more shot for the memories
Life's too short to be enemies
And if this ends tonight, yeah (if this ends tonight)
You can save your tears for the other guys
I'll see you in another life
Goodbye
And maybe if the stars align
I'll see you in another life
You're missin' all the time to cry
We have one more night so
If this is goodbye, yeah (ah-ah-ah)
Let's sing one more song for the memories
Life's too short to be enemies
If this ends tonight (oh-oh-oh-ooh-ooh)
You can save your tears for the other guys
I'll see you in another life
If this is goodbye
(Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye)
Let's take one more shot for the memories
Life's too short to be enemies
And if this ends tonight, yeah (if this ends tonight)
You can save your tears for the other guys
I'll see you in another life
Goodbye
And maybe if the stars align
I'll see you in another life
You're missin' all the time to cry
We have one more night
Goodbye
