[Verse 1]
The strange logic of your clumsiest line
It stayed emblazoned on my mind
You say break up the family, and let's begin to live our lives
I want to see all my friends tonight

[Verse 2]
It wasn't youth, it wasn't life, born old, sadly wise
Resigned, well, we were, to ending our lives
I'm so glad to grow older, to move away from those awful times
I want to see all my friends tonight

[Verse 3]
Yes, you found love but you weren't at peace with your life
Home late, full of hate, despise the ties that bind
I'm so glad to grow older, to move away from those younger years
I'm in love for the first time and I don't feel bad

[Bridge]
Let me see all my old friends
Let me put my arm around them
Because I really do love them
Now does that sound mad?

[Verse 4]
Captain of games, solid-framed, I stood on the touchline
Hailstones, driven home in his car, no brakes, I don't mind
I'm so glad to grow older, to move away from those darker years
I'm in love for the first time and I don't feel bad
[Outro]
So wish me luck my friends, goodbye
So wish me luck my friends, goodbye
