Lyrics
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 went to see all my friends tonight
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
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
Let me see all my old friends
Let me put my arm around them
'Cause I really do love them
Now, does that sound mad?
Captain of games, solid framed, I stood on the touchline
Hailstones, driven home in a car—no breaks? I don't mind
I'm just 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
So wish me luck my friends, goodbye
So wish me luck again, goodbye
Wish me luck my friends, goodbye
Wish me luck my friends, goodbye
