[Verse 1]
It's been long, long drawn
Got my heart broke in the car
Parked outside the minibar
Oh whoa, lord
It took me months to lose the pain
Now, I only take the train
Oh woah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
It’s been dark, so dark
I saw that dress you used to wear
In a picture on his chair
Oh, whoa, man
That one time I saw his face
I knew he'd try to take my place
Oh woah, yeah yeah

[Chorus]
Hey, nice to know ya
Hey, nice to know ya
Hey, nice to know ya
Hey, nice to know ya

[Verse 3]
Should've been a martyr
Not a firestarter
Burnin’ down the circus
Don't know how to work this out
(Hey, nice to know ya, hey, nice to know ya)
Started out a novice
Finished like an artist
Crashin' like a party
Cryin' in the lobby, oh
(Hey, nice to know ya, hey, nice to know ya)
[Verse 4]
It's be hard, so hard to know
You're out there on the street
I could only hope we meet
Oh, oh my
It's a bird's walk to be sure
Will they ever find a cure?

[Chorus]
Oh, whoa, yeah, yeah
Whoa (Hey, nice to know ya, hey, nice to know ya)
Yeah (Hey, nice to know ya, hey, nice to know ya)
Hey, nice to know ya
Hey, nice to know ya (Woo woo)
Hey, nice to know ya
Hey, nice to know ya
Whoa (Hey, nice to know ya, hey, nice to know ya)
Yeah (Hey, nice to know ya, hey, nice to know ya)
Whoa (Hey, nice to know ya, hey, nice to know ya)
Yeah (Hey, nice to know ya, hey, nice to know ya)

[Outro]
Should’ve been a martyr
Not a firestarter
Burnin’ down the circus
Don't know how to work this out
Started out a novice
Finished like an artist
Crashin’ like a party
Cryin' in the lobby, oh
You know it's been hard
