This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
put your hand out
you've never been that late
on a good day, on a good day
what it told you, never really sunk in
it gets brighter now, it gets brighter
when you drop down, everybody knows
that you go, that you go
when you drop down, everybody drops down
we should go, everybody go
chorus
let them go all the way into thin air
let them go all the way, you can trust him
be slow, be slow, be slow
how it started, so much like we're ending
we're getting ready now, they're getting ready
plastic feet on plastic floors waiting for you,
the excitement could kill me
when we come out, you could be ugly
coming we can change everything
you'll never know, never never never know
when you go, when it rains it snows
chorus
in your lifetime, what have you been dreaming?
i'll always up, i'm always up
use your head and make me something for free
could be anything, could be oxy
some people wont ever get what i mean
and thats okay, we still the same
go home, you should go
everybody go "whoaaaaaaaa ooooooohhhh"
you've never been that late
on a good day, on a good day
what it told you, never really sunk in
it gets brighter now, it gets brighter
when you drop down, everybody knows
that you go, that you go
when you drop down, everybody drops down
we should go, everybody go
chorus
let them go all the way into thin air
let them go all the way, you can trust him
be slow, be slow, be slow
how it started, so much like we're ending
we're getting ready now, they're getting ready
plastic feet on plastic floors waiting for you,
the excitement could kill me
when we come out, you could be ugly
coming we can change everything
you'll never know, never never never know
when you go, when it rains it snows
chorus
in your lifetime, what have you been dreaming?
i'll always up, i'm always up
use your head and make me something for free
could be anything, could be oxy
some people wont ever get what i mean
and thats okay, we still the same
go home, you should go
everybody go "whoaaaaaaaa ooooooohhhh"
