E C G D
And you'd have to just go home

And the way it all went by
E C G D
And somebody said "come on its getting late"

And you thought the world might end if you just looked the other way
E C G D
And now you wish that you had stayed
Pre-Chorus
E C G D
And there's so much more that you could see if you just stick around
E C G D E
And all the street light secrets whispering for you to come back out

Oh no

There's so much more that you need to work out

You don't want that parade to leave you now

And the days are all the same

When the music's over

But the song stays in your head
