Frank Turner - Dan's Song lyrics

rate me

Me and my friend Dan are going to get some beers<br />

And then we're going to go down to the park and drink them there.<br />

We'll bask out in the sun, bring a guitar and play some songs, <br />

Call up our friends and invite them out<br />

To share what might be the last weekend of the summer, <br />

Because September's getting colder as it goes.<br />

And we haven't done enough of this simple kind of stuff this year.<br />

It's clear we're getting older and it shows.<br />

Work weeks make us weary now and school's a distant memory<br />

And it's easy to ask questions of ourselves, like:<br />

Where it is we're going now and what we have to show for all the sunny days<br />

Shut up in the shells of expectations of our ultimate directions, <br />

And the stations that we should have reached by now, <br />

When we haven't read the script and our tender wings are clipped, <br />

And we're scared we might be letting someone down.<br />

So we listen to these heartbreak songs when nothing's really wrong, <br />

And we smile when we're asked and say we're fine.<br />

But we're drifting through our middle days, <br />

Creeping into middle age, setting in our ways... <br />

But now it's time to decide, <br />

Now it's time to draw a line in the sand<br />

And ask what's more important than days like today?<br />

So grab some beers, call your friends and meet us here, <br />

In the summer park with me and my friend Dan.
