Break Up the Family

The strange logic of your clumsiest line It stayed emblazoned on my mind You say break up the family And let's begin to live our lives I went to see all my friends tonight It wasn't youth, it wasn't life Born old, sadly wise Resigned (well, we were) To ending our lives I'm so glad to grow older To move away from those awful times I want to see all my friends tonight Yes you found love but you weren't At peace with your life Home late, full of hate Despise the ties that bind I'm so glad to grow older To move away from those younger years I'm in love for the first time And I don't feel bad Let me see all my old friends Let me put my arm around them Because I really do love them Now, does that sound mad? Captain of games, solid framed I stood on the touchline Hailstones, driven home In his car—no breaks? I don't mind I'm just so glad to grow older To move away from those darker years I'm in love for the first time And I don't feel bad So wish me luck my friends Goodbye
