Lyrics

I finally get experience only to be told that I'm obsolete.
Please don't say that I'm confused upstairs,
I'm just a little slow on my feet.
The years have really added up
and I'm the only one who's keeping track.
So you can live for this moment while I look back.

Another drink for friendship,
'cause we've been friends for way too long.
Another drink for friendship,
we'll keep drinking 'til the dawn.

Did you hear that today's the day
that we honor the distant past?
As if that's gonna make everything alright.
There's nothing here that's gonna last.
But in spite of the long life I've lived,
I don't feel too bad.
Thank god for the good times that we've had.

Another drink for friendship,
'cause we've been friends for way too long.
Another drink for friendship,
we'll keep drinking 'til the dawn.

I'm not dead yet, just in a general state of decline.
No different from anybody else.
Though I wasn't born yesterday,
the future might still be mine.
At least that's what I try to tell myself.

Damnit. (What's the matter, Ezra?)
Memories. They comfort until they hurt.
(They're beautiful, the things you talk about.)
(I love your stories, Ezra.)
I want you to promise me something...
when I die... (You're not going to die.)
When I die, you take this book
and keep telling the story, no matter where you go,
no matter how far you travel.
You keep writing this story. (I will.)
Promise me, please. (I promise.)

Another drink for friendship,
'cause we've been friends for way too long.
Another drink for friendship,
we'll keep drinking 'til the dawn...
or until we're gone.
