Pick up the phone I know you´re there
It´s almost closing time
& we can toss down one more shot
before last call

are you ok?
I swear to God
I gotta get out of this house
I miss the days when I´d just
not come home at all..

now, don´t you cry, it´ll give you lines
around your eyes
you gotta try not to live so much of
life alone.
& if I see you getting crazy by the bottom of the bottle I´ll
take you home, take you home, take
you home

remember when we used to stumble
down the boulevard
from bar to bar until we couldn´t stagger straight
we felt like we would live forever,
living life was not so hard
we felt nothing much at all but it felt
great

now, don´t you cry it´ll give you lines
around your eyes
you gotta try not to live so much of
life alone
& if I see you getting crazy by the bottom of the bottle,
I´ll take you home, take you home,
take you home.

I gotta tell you,
it gets better
every day you stay alive
& I´m amazed
every day
that the sun decides to rise
every minute, every hour, is another
chance to change
life is beautiful & terrible & strange.

so don´t you cry, it´ll give you lines around
your eyes
you gotta try not to live so much of life alone
& if you see me getting getting crazy by the bottom
of the bottle,
take me home, take me home, take me home.
