Dan’s Song

[Verse 1]
Me and my friend Dan are going to get some beers
And then we're going to go down to the park and drink them there
We'll busk out in the sun with a guitar and play some songs
Call up our friends and invite them out to share
What might be the last weekend of the summer
'Cause September's getting colder as it goes
And we haven't done enough of this simple kind of stuff this year It's clear we're getting older and it shows

[Verse 2]
Well, work weeks make us weary now and school's a distant memory
It's easy to ask questions of ourselves
Like where it is we're going now and what we had to show
For all the sunny days we spent shut up in the shells
Of expectations of our ultimate directions
And the stations that we should have reached by now
When we haven't read the script and our tender wings are clipped
And yet we're scared we might be letting someone down

[Verse 3]
Listen to these heartbreak songs when nothing's really wrong
And then we'll smile when we're asked and we say that we're fine
We're drifting through our middle days
We're creeping into middle age, setting in our ways
But now it's time to decide now it's time to draw a line
In the sand and ask what's more important than days like today
So grab some beers, call your friends and meet us here
In the summer park with me and my friend Dan
