Lyrics

[Verse 1]
No, I never knew you
We both went to different schools
Me so scared of the rules
And you chasing all the girls
[Verse 2]
But it seems to me
We never grew up, we just got ourselves free
Inventing what we could be
To buy all their curls
[Verse 3]
Get up and dance
Get up and smile
Get up and drink to the days
That are gone in the shortest while
[Verse 4]
She was just 18
She collapsed and they took her away
She didn't make it for more than an hour
And then she was gone
[Verse 5]
And what do you say
When someone's been taken that way
Before they've had a day
To fly in the sun?
[Verse 6]
You say get up and dance
Get up and smile
Get up and drink to the days
That are gone in the shortest while
[Verse 7]
Yeah, get up and dance
Get up and smile
Get up and drink to the ones
That are gone in the shortest while
[Verse 8]
I'll sing my sorrow
I'll sing my sorrow
I'll sing my sorrow
I'll sing my sorrow
[Verse 9]
No, I never knew you
We both landed up as different fools
Me so scared of the rules
And you chasing all the girls
[Verse 10]
Man, it seems to me
Aww, we never grew up, we just got ourselves free
Inventing what we could be
To buy all the curls
[Verse 11]
Yeah, get up and dance
Get up and smile
Get up and drink to the days
That are gone in the shortest while
[Verse 12]
Aww, get up and dance
Get up and smile
Get up and drink to the ones
Who are gone in the shortest while
[Verse 13]
And I sing my sorrow
Yeah, I sing my sorrow
Yeah, I sing my sorrow
Yeah, I sing my sorrow
[Verse 14]
'Cause I sing my sorrow
I sing my sorrow
I sing my sorrow
Yeah, I sing my sorrow
I sing my sorrow
