The Things We Knew Last Night
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In a day with every shade of green
It filled our minds with silver screens
And held our arms above our heads
And put the world to rights again
You took the good times on the chin
Said, hold my drink I'm going in
And ran into the open sea
Of boys and girls with broken dreams
And, oh, they say
We're just wasting time
But they don't know the things we knew last night
They say
We're just wasting time
But they don't know the things we knew last night
Last night
When your stomach turns from too much gin
And the cigarettes are wearing thin
You see the boys are trying to fight
Yeah the brightest pricks they shine at night
We wear out hearts upon our sleeves
It's funny living through times like these
So hold on tight to someone strong
Cause everyone needs someone
And, oh, they say
We're just wasting time
But they don't know the things we knew last night
They say
We're just wasting time
But they don't know the things we knew last night
Last night
And, oh, they say
We're just wasting time
But they don't know the things we knew
And, oh, they say
We're just wasting time
But they don't know the things we knew last night
Yeah they don't know the things we knew last night
Yeah they don't know the things we knew last night
