Why do you cry when you know how the story ends?

How can you laugh when you know that it hurts your friends?

We've all been there once, but you never left

This is me coming back to get you out to say goodbye, to make amends

I'm not leaving this place

Unless I'm leaving with you

 Cause you're the only person with a half decent heart here

And I know you will put it to use

 Until it's gone, gone, gone

Gone, gone, gone

Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, yeah

Na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

When as you close your eyes for the big sleep

 I hope you think of me, yeah

Na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

 And if you go, I'll be gone

 And you'll be left alone to live your life, as you please

 But someday you'll agree that I was always meant for you

 You were always meant for me and you will see

 that you're impossible

 You're impossible

 You're impossible

 You're impossible

Me and Mr. Dylan on the ride home

 We had a heart-to-heart about life

 But neither him or me could decide for ourselves

 If we wanted to outlive that night

 Like two children on the playground of the unconfessed souls

Abandoned by our mothers and our lovers and our foes

 If only we were brave enough to live the lives we stole

 What a wonderful world this could be!

Na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

When as you close your eyes for the big sleep

 I hope you think of me, yeah

Na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

 And if you go, I'll be gone

 And you'll be left alone to live your life, as you please

 But someday you'll agree that I was always meant for you

 You were always meant for me and you will see

 that you're impossible

 You're impossible

 You're impossible

 You're impossible

 So, how many more examples until we break?

 So how many sacrifices must we make?

 Because we've all been there once before

 And it looks like we've returned once more

 So is this the beginning or the end?

 The last two soldiers on the battlefield

Survivors of the war

 They aim at one another while their mothers beg the lord

 "If you're listening, I'm missing him

 So somehow bring him home.

How did it come to this?"

 So the soldiers lift their rifles

 And they're aiming at the head

 They think of their first love before they take their final breath

 And somewhere in the distance they hear something someone said:

"How did it come to this?"

When as you close your eyes for the big sleep

 I hope you think of me, yeah

Na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

When as you close your eyes for the big sleep

 I hope you think of me, yeah

Na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
