Frank Turner - Dan's Song lyrics
[Frank Turner - Dan's Song lyrics]
Me and my friend Dan are
Going to get some beers
And then we're going to go down to
The park and drink them there
We'll busk out in the sun with
A guitar and play some songs
Call up our friends and invite
Them out to share
What might be the last weekend of the summer
'Cause September's getting colder as it goes
And we haven't done enough of
This simple kind of stuff
This year It's clear we're getting
Older and it shows
Well, work weeks make us weary now
And school's a distant memory
It's easy to ask questions of ourselves
Like where it is we're going now
And what we had to show
For all the sunny days we spent
Shut up in the shells
Of expectations of our ultimate directions
And the stations that we should
Have reached by now
When we haven't read the script and
Our tender wings are clipped
And yet we're scared we might
Be letting someone down
Listen to these heartbreak songs
When nothing's really wrong
And then we'll smile when we're asked
And we say that we're fine
We're drifting through our middle days
We're creeping into middle age
Setting in our ways
But now it's time to decide now
It's time to draw a line
In the sand and ask what's more
Important than days like today
So grab some beers
Call your friends and meet us here
In the summer park with me and my friend Dan
Going to get some beers
And then we're going to go down to
The park and drink them there
We'll busk out in the sun with
A guitar and play some songs
Call up our friends and invite
Them out to share
What might be the last weekend of the summer
'Cause September's getting colder as it goes
And we haven't done enough of
This simple kind of stuff
This year It's clear we're getting
Older and it shows
Well, work weeks make us weary now
And school's a distant memory
It's easy to ask questions of ourselves
Like where it is we're going now
And what we had to show
For all the sunny days we spent
Shut up in the shells
Of expectations of our ultimate directions
And the stations that we should
Have reached by now
When we haven't read the script and
Our tender wings are clipped
And yet we're scared we might
Be letting someone down
Listen to these heartbreak songs
When nothing's really wrong
And then we'll smile when we're asked
And we say that we're fine
We're drifting through our middle days
We're creeping into middle age
Setting in our ways
But now it's time to decide now
It's time to draw a line
In the sand and ask what's more
Important than days like today
So grab some beers
Call your friends and meet us here
In the summer park with me and my friend Dan
