so we sit at this table
with our hands in our laps
and we have a few drinks
and we share a few laughs
but now those days have passed
and they're not coming back
it's a shame cus thats all that i had

and we'll sing out loud for hours
till a morning that we know we can't avoid
these nights are noteable and priceless
but i swear that every word i say
i'll mean until my dying day
it's a shame
when i wake i can't recall a thing
it's a shame
when i wake i can't recall a thing

so keep things quiet
till the rest of the street falls asleep
then we'll break out
show everyone just what we're made of
so young
let's abuse it all and have a little fun
i'll drink to that
let's drink to that

and i'll sing out loud for hours
till a morning that we know we cant avoid
these nights are noteable and priceless
and i swear that every word i say
i'll mean until my dying day
it's a shame
when i wake i cant recall a thing
it's a shame
when i wake i cant recall a thing

i've got some problems
but we've got ten dollars
that's enough to get us wasted
before the night is over
these past five days
i've been completely sober
but tonight i'm gettin ripped wide open
(x2)
but tonight i'm gettin ripped wide open

and we'll sing out loud for hours
till a morning that we know we can't avoid
these nights are noteable and priceless
and i swear that every word i say
i'll mean until my dying day
it's a shame
when i wake i can't recall a thing
it's a shame
when i wake i can't recall a thing
