Lyrics

All My Friends Are In Bar Bands

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.

Jack says he loves the winter here

'Cause these are days when everyone's as miserable as him

Josh says it smells like cheap beer and loathing here

It could be the van, but it's probably just his breath

Max dropped out of college

But he likes to say he finished

He's working back home with his dad

He and Kevin got matching tattoo's of their initials

And three X's down their legs

Well, I've got like-minded dudes in Detroit or Vancouver

Newport, Boca and Brum

I don't know where I am

But I know where I came from

So everyone moved in with their girlfriends

In one-bedroom apartments

In the town that we grew up in and

All my friends are in bar bands

I don't know how it happened

I hope it pays the rent

And still there's some days

when I don't think that we'll ever see Dave again

Justin's working three jobs just to stay ahead

Spiro lied about his major

But it's working out for him

Nick and Richie got a place together by the train station

I've spent twenty-two years just wading through bullshit and hey

It's worked so far

I don't know why I'm here

But I know who my friends are

So everyone moved in with their girlfriends

In one-bedroom apartments

In the town that we grew up in and

All my friends are in bar bands

I don't know how it happened

I hope it pays the rent

And still there's some days

when I don't think that we'll ever see Dave again

[Matty Arsenautt of A Loss For Words]

"I'm not sad anymore

I'm just tired of this place

And if this year would just end

I think we'd all be okay"

[Dave Mackinder of Fireworks:]

"I'm not sad anymore

I'm just tired of this place

And if this year would just end

I think we'd all be okay"

We moved on again, We're not wasting away

[Shane Henderson of Valencia:]

"I'm not sad anymore

I'm just tired of this place

And if this year would just end

I think we'd all be okay"

We moved on again, We're not wasting away

[Jamie Rhoden of Title Fight:]

"I'm not sad anymore

I'm just tired of this place

And if this year would just end

I think we'd all be okay"

We moved on again, We're not wasting away

[Nik Bruzzese of Man Overboard:]

"I'm not sad anymore

I'm just tired of this place

And if this year would just end

I think we'd all be okay"

I'm not sad anymore

I'm just tired of this place

And if this year would just end

I think we'd all be okay
