Before We Leave

Hey, we've been fighting the good fight yeah
or whatever we thought that would be
so why can't you just take my word for it honey
come out drinking before we leave
hey we've been shouting since the sun came up
cant you hear a word of what I've said?
then why can t you just take a look in my eyes
and kiss me before we leave
before we leave

so throw your weight around
show a little action here
let all the monsters come in from the dark
scary little question marks
out with your household name and perfect rhymes
system's working overtime
while you're still dealing with your stupid pride
well, were just trying to provide

Hey, we've been fighting the good fight yeah
or whatever we thought that would be
so why can't you just take my word for it honey
come out drinking before we leave
hey we've been shouting since the sun came up
cant you hear a word of what I've said?
then why can t you just take a look in my eyes
and kiss me before we leave
before we leave

so Ill keep my fingers crossed
try to give a little something back
listening to what the radio plays
a song about our salad days
this November well it came and went
the years flow by sold and spent
the billboards on the boulevards
light up to mirror who we are

Hey, we've been fighting the good fight yeah
or whatever we thought that would be
so why can't you just take my word for it honey
come out drinking before we leave
hey we've been shouting since the sun came up
cant you hear a word of what I've said?
then why can t you just take a look in my eyes
and kiss me before we leave
before we leave
