Dan's Song

[Produced By Alex Newport] [Verse 1] Me and my friend Dan are going to get some beers And then we're going to go down to the park and drink them there We'll bust out in the sun with a guitar and play some songs Call up our friends and invite them out to share What might be the last weekend of the summer Cause September's getting colder as it goes And we haven't done enough of this simple kind of stuff This year, it's clear we're getting older and it shows [Verse 2] Well, work makes us weary now and school's a distant memory It's easy to ask questions of ourselves Like where it is we're going now and what we'll have to show For all the sunny days we spent shut up in the shells Of expectations of our ultimate directions And the stations that we should have reach by now When we haven't read the script and our tender wings are clipped And yet we're scared we might be letting someone down [Verse 3] Listen to these heartbreak songs where nothing's really wrong And then we'll smile when we're asked and we say we're fine We're drifting through our middle days We're creeping into middle age, setting in our ways But now it's time to decide now it's time to draw a line In the sand and ask what's more important than days like today So grab some beers, call your friends and meet us here In the summer park with me and my friend Dan
