We all try to get back what we forgot
I'm a real big fan and you're a real big fraud
Oh I never knew that I would ever read it if I could
A little letting go never did a lot of good
We try to get back what we miss the most
I'm a real bad guest but you're a real good host
Oh we'd rather laugh it off than admit to what we are
Two criminals who let it get a little too far
So step inside
I owe you an explanation
The whole nation has gone mad
Will you remember the hard times
And the good times we had
We all try to get what's been going around
You got your sneakers tied up and your collar turned down
But we're always locking doors by never saying what we mean
You are just a kid when you are just sixteen
We all want to give while the getting is good
I'm gold cause I already know a lot more than I should
And we'd all love to get back what we'd left for broke
You need a real big laugh and I'm a real big joke
So step inside
(chorus x2)
We all hate to think that our world's gonna end
Is it me that you dislike or what you saw on CNN?
If he died today would they remember his name?
If that's a little fucked up than you're a little to blame
Try to get back to where we were when we fell
You've known me too long
Now you know me too well
You've got blue blue eyes and ice cream charm
A little letting go never did a lot of harm
So step inside
(chorus)

Orient Express

You could tear my heart out of my chest
Leave it over there with the rest
You could sell your soul to the rock and roll success
Tell me if you really think that's best
No one gives a damn when Kanye West
Shows up overwhelmed and underdressed
Life is beautiful on some chemical I guess
And all you have to do is say yes
All you have to do is say yes
Boozing up and using to excess
Is only slowly losing interest
On years we spent hell bent on happiness
When all we had to do is say yes
All we had to do is say yes
Loaded, locked, and starting to regress
Roll in on the Orient Express
We think we found our love's true calling
But everyone is an appalling mess
So tell me if you really think that's best
And all you gotta do is say yes

I still feel like June
September always comes too soon
If I fall behind, September air will clear my mind
September air will clear my mind
Bonnie, blithe, and gay
You could be king for a day
You have paid your dues
On things you can't afford to lose
Things you can't afford to lose
Life is good it seemed
In the French immersion stream
Thirteen years well spent
You still don't trust the government
You wonder where your childhood went

A, I'm a river and B, you're a fireman
See what you want to in me and all that I am
Lol at your Twitter god damn short attention span
I ain't got no stones left just two dead birds in my hand
If you say gee, IDK
I'll bet you'll find some other way
But I bet you'll make it hard to stay
When A, I'm a river and B, you're a fireman
Say what you want to
I did the only best that I can
If you say gee, IDK
I bet you'll find some other way
I bet you'll make it hard to stay
Cause A, I'm a river and B, you're a fireman
See what you want to in me and all that I am
A, you're a river and B, I'm a fireman
Say what you want to
I did the only best that I can
But this beer's a depressant when we're adolescent
So cheer on your best friends
So cheer just as loud as you can
Singing A, I'm a river, etc.
When you told me you'd brb
You were always making fun of me
I'm always h-u-r-t

Listen up, you've said enough now yeah
It doesn't bother me now so
We figure there's a happy ending
But we don't watch tv now no
In Tokyo there is a dog of stone
He's waiting for his master
And all the school kids still wash their hands there
To avoid disaster
In Tokyo there was a lot things I didn't know
But Tokyo was a long long time ago
