How do you know, do you know that the good days are now While you're living them out? Someone's off in the corner Pitching a fire all on their own Someone's calling their friends While you're missing them, and they're so far from home All the lads in the corner Singing to daughters and dancing around Half a Jack on the table 'Cause no one's been able to drink it all down Well, we don't know the words, but we're singing 'Cause these are the times So, how do you know, do you know that the good days arе now While you're living them out? And how do you know, do you know That thе ones that you're living Are the ones you'll be missing? Well, we don't know the words, but we're singing 'Cause these are the times So, how do you know, do you know That the good days are now While you're living them out right now? La-la-la, la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la One lost touch in the summer Moved to the suburbs, probably settled down I'm not sure 'bout the others One lost his brother, and one moves around I still think of that night Did we have it all right? Still, we all searched for more So now, when I sit 'round the table I wish we were able to sing it like before Well, we don't know the words, but we're singing 'Cause these are the times So, how do you know, do you know that the good days are now While you're living them out? And how do you know, do you know That the ones that you're living Are the ones you'll be missing? Well, we don't know the words, but we're singing 'Cause these are the times Well, we don't know the words, but we're singing 'Cause these are the times Right now La-la-la, la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la All that's left is the photo I don't even know who took it back then Who'd have thought in the moment That I'd get to hold all that's left in the end?

Do you see it? I've been hiding it Don't think our eyes met Do you feel it? I have kept it in Deep inside my skin How do you know? How do you know? How do you know? How do you know? Do you see it? Every word you've said Running through my head Hesitating, should I let you in? Start over again? How do you know? How do you know? How do you know? How do you know? Do you see it? I've been hiding it Don't think our eyes met How do you know? How do you know? How do you know? How do you know?

So scared that you don't want me here In the corner of the living room Reading subtitles, 'cause I can't hear The show you put on for noise While you're laughing in the kitchen Pourin' drinks over ice And I am not the type to go out every night 'Cause I just need some time To know what's wrong in my head Pullin' out the pages that I wrote for you Hopin' you don't think that I'm dependent 'cause I know the truth Might be too much, I'm not enough I'm always disappointed in the things I write Even when I speak, it seems the words will never come out right Coping alone, just bring me home And it's happened again, another friend said, "Marry me" While unknowingly signin' away the life he wanted I'm glad, none of our parents stayed together I hate to be a bummer, but I'm three more beers from callin' a cab So I can sleep to shake this dread I won't wake up unless you ask if I am okay Pullin' out the pages that I wrote for you Hopin' you don't think that I'm dependent 'cause I know the truth Might be too much, I'm not enough I'm always disappointed in the things I write Even when I speak, it seems the words will never come out right Coping alone, just bring me home, just bring- Just bring me home Just bring me home I don't wanna talk on the balcony Just wanna drink 'til I kill what's gotten into me Just bring me home Just bring me home Just bring, just bring, just bring me home And I just need some time to know what's wrong in my head

I feel alone even with myself But it does better me I'd like to tell you, how I'm feeling now But it ruins everything You try to judge me now Tomorrow's okay You try to tell me now, how I should feel I don't feel like I should be here I feel alone even with myself Do you know what I mean? I can't explain those things that seem to repel me They ruin everything Your fears are working now But I don't complain I'm working hard to listen, that's okay Don't you know, it's not okay to be afraid of me I hate to tell you but you're in my way I hate when someone tries to push me away Don't you know you can't be afraid of me? Giving away all I'm feeling now, now Now, now, now, now, now, now Why don't you listen to this heart full of pain? Sounds like complaining, but it's hard to refrain Don't you know you can't be afraid of me Giving away all I'm feeling now Now, now, now Now, now, now Now, now, now ...

The key is so distant I've opened doors Know when to listen Know what to listen for, yeah The shelf in the room Has been the way Of holding me And letting me stay Kick me out Let me go (go) I don't belong here no more A releasing sense Of getting tired Hold myself I can't hold myself The shelf in the room Has been the way Of holding me And letting me stay The shelf in the room Has been so true I can hide in the shelf in the room Holding out (holding out) Never hold in (never holding out) Holding out (holding out, never hold) Holding out (holding out) Never hold in (never holding out) Holding out (holding out, never hold) Know when to listen Know what to listen for Believe in resistance Don't let them tell you anymore Is there anyway (no) To get away? (No) Ask myself While I stay inside, yeah The shelf in the room Has been the way Of holding me And letting me stay The shelf in the room Has been so true I can hide in the shelf in the room, yeah Holding out (holding out) Never hold in (never holding out) Holding out (holding out, never hold) Holding out (holding out) Never hold in (never holding out) Holding out (holding out, never hold) Holding out, never hold in Holding out, never hold in Holding out, never hold Holding out, never hold in Holding out, never hold in (Holding out, never hold) The key is so distant I've closed my doors The shelf in the room Is rain waiting to pour

I won't break this, it took so long to make this The life I lead is getting through to me I won't take this, took so long to get rid of this Anything is everything to me What a step in time Running after you I don't know where you are And I can't seem to get you I want you to know me, yeah The pain that greets me is a stick that beats me Solid dream, hope isn't what it seems Words I can't miss is a song that sings you Missing friend, tomorrow is the end What a step in time Find my place in life Running after you I don't know where you are And I can't seem to get you I want you to know me Running after you I don't know where you are And I can't seem to get you I want you to know me yeah, alright Anything is everything to me Anything is everything to me, yeah yeah Running after you I don't know where you are And I can't seem to get you I want you to know me Running after you I don't know where you are And I can't seem to get you I want you to know me, yeah Don't know where you are I want you to know me
