Why do you cry when you know how the story ends?
How can you laugh when you know that it hurts your friends?
We've all been there once, but you never left
This is me coming back to get you out, to say goodbye
To make amends
I'm not leaving this place
Unless I'm leaving with you
You're the only person here with a half-decent heart
And I know you will put it to use
Until it's gone, gone gone
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone... yeah
Na na na...
Na na na...
And as you close your eyes for the big sleep
I hope you think of me, yeah
Na na na...
Na na na...
And if you go, I'll be gone
And you'll be left alone to live your life
As you please, and someday you'll agree
That I was always meant for you
You were always meant for me, you'll see
That you're impossible
You're impossible
You're impossible
Yeah, you're impossible
Me and Mr. Dylan on the ride home,
We had a heart-to-heart about life
Neither him or me could decide for ourselves
If we wanted to outlive that night
Like two children on the playground of the unconfessed soul
Abandoned by our mothers and our lovers and our foes
If only we were brave enough to live the lives we stole
What a wonderful world this could be!
Na na na...
Na na na...
And as you close your eyes for the big sleep
I hope you think of me, yeah
Na na na...
Na na na...
And if you go, I'll be gone
And you'll be left alone to live your life
As you please, and someday you'll agree
That I was always meant for you
You were always meant for me, you'll see
That you're impossible
Yeah, you're impossible
You're impossible
You're impossible
So how many more examples 'til we break?
How many more sacrifices must we make?
'Cause we've all been there once before
Looks like we've returned once more
Is this the beginning or the end?
The last two soldiers on the battlefield, survivors of the war
They aim at one another while their mothers beg the Lord,
"If you're listening, I'm missing him,
So somehow bring him home. How did it come to this?"
So the soldiers lift their rifles, and they're aiming at the head
They think of their first love before they take their final breaths
And somewhere in the distance, they hear something someone said:
"How did it come to this!?"
And as you close your eyes for the big sleep
I hope you think of me, yeah...
