Fools

Sneaking out through the back door

Push the car down the road before we start it

Mom and dad were still sleeping

While we were fools of the night

We could do this forever

Nothing needed to change

Seventeen was a good year

Now it isn't the same

Do the days ache in your bones?

You are old enough to know

Does the clock stop right at nine

And tell you that it’s time?

You're on your own

You told yourself it was your fault

You never felt you were enough

Your mom was still sleeping

While dad was the fool of the night

You made decisions you hated

Something needed to change

Seventeen was a bad year

Now it isn't the same

Do the days ache in your bones?

You are old enough to know

Does the clock stop right at nine

And tell you that it’s time?

You're on your own

Does it hurt to know?

I can tell this'll be a bad day

I can tell it's gonna be a hard day

But we'll make it through

All those people who seem so happy

I can tell that they are not laughing

On the inside tonight

I can tell this'll be a bad day

I can tell it's gonna be a hard day

But we'll make it through

All those people who seem so happy

I can tell that they are not laughing

On the inside tonight

I can tell this’ll be a bad day

I can tell it’s gonna be a hard day

But we'll make it through
