LYRICS
Well I made my way back down to the valley
Right on past 83rd street
That's where we once belonged
But I'm gone
I swear I'm long gone

So give it up, throw your hats in the air
And change just as they land
You're saying, "We'll get out of here"
Something tells me that you're too scared to go

So the stairs that you could climb
Are the ones you've left behind
And your eyes light up when we talk about the past
God, I miss those songs we used to sing
Talking like getting away would be the greatest thing
Well me, I got out
And you, you kept singing to me
Like that's really going to set this free

So give it up, throw your hats in the air
And change just as they land
You're saying, "We'll get out of here"
Something tells me you're too scared to go

Like a ghost
You've been haunting all these dusty old roads and old homes
The ones we swore we'd never go, oh oh
As for Joe
Oh, I've seen him around
Then there's Adam
He's afraid to go out
I don't blame him, I just wanted to go out to eat
Then there's Mark
God damn, I wish him the best
We were kids back then, as if we could progress
Sometimes I, I just can't sleep
Thinking of everything we could have been

So give it up, throw your hats in the air
And change just as they land
You're saying, "We'll get out of here"
Something tells me you're too scared to go

So give it up, throw your hats in the air
And change just as they land
You're saying, "We'll get out of here"
Something tells me you're too scared to go
