Gateway City Serenade: Remember when we crept and crawled through the dark? We stumbled to the loop and took shots in forest park It seems like it's been so damn long Since we drank Jameson and sang our favorite songs To a silent city I'll sing another gateway city serenade tonight In the hopes that it might get me somewhere else I've sang this same song one too many times It's safe to say I'm on the verge of giving up Lay me down tonight in the gateway to the west The cracks in the sidewalks hold our history I'd rather drown in the deep of the Mississippi Than to leave this last song unsung I'll sing another gateway city serenade tonight In the hopes that it might get me somewhere else I've sang this same song one too many times It's safe to say I'm on the verge of giving up We'd try to count the stars every single night As we walked up and down Washington Avenue But the glow of the streetlights and neon signs Was always blocking our view I'll sing another gateway city serenade tonight In the hopes that it might get me somewhere else I've sang this same song one too many times It's safe to say I'm on the verge of giving up I'll sing another gateway city serenade tonight In the hopes that it might get me somewhere else I've sang this same song one too many times It's safe to say I'm on the verge of giving up

Leaving town's not as easy as it used to be When we were 17 Cuz moving now, comes with responsibility Or that's what they want you think And I know we're at each others throats And I know we've been selling each other lies If there's a moral to this story It's that we're traitors in disguise To our own lives To see you crash and burn like this Is something I'll never forget Becoming useless and complacent Is something I'll always regret And I know it's the same sad story And I know I've told it a million times But when you grow up boring and lonely It's all you can do to survive Maybe someday when I'm older I'll be standing on the corner With a backpack waving my hand Maybe then you'll pick me up We'll talk about how we've had enough And we'll realize that we can... And I know we're at each others throats And I know we've been selling each other lies If there's a moral to this story It's that we're traitors in disguise To our own lives Leaving town's not as easy as it used to be When we were 17

I'm plotting again Of course I'm three sheets to the wind I'm out cold again Asking myself "Where have you been?" I'm outside again It's cold and I'm yelling "Let me in" It's smoky and dim We've got no room for error or sin Outsmarted again Murky water but I dive right in Outspoken again No remorse or regret til the end Godless again Your thoughts and prayers They lend me no hand The storm's moving in For an egotistical drowning I just got your message, Can't you see the SOS? The ship has run aground. My hands are tied and bound I just got your message Can't you see the discontent? The ship has run aground My hands are tied and bound

Set Sail 03:30
Oh captain, my captain we lived to seize the day We were drunk at sea when we made a wrong turn Oh captain, my captain it looks like trecherous waters We'll die at sea but we have an eternity to burn So follow me down tonight, we'll sink with this ship We set sail looking for something we knew we'd never find This is how we lived, so this is the only way to die. Oh captain, my captain we lived to seize the day We were drunk at sea when we made a wrong turn Oh captain, my captain it looks like trecherous waters We'll die at sea but we have an eternity to burn We'll float with our bottles of beer before we admit defeat Hell isn't quite the punishment that it used to be Nothing is as bad as dying just to chase your dreams Oh captain, my captain we lived to seize the day We were drunk at sea when we made a wrong turn Oh captain, my captain it looks like trecherous waters We'll die at sea but we have an eternity to burn Promises me my last words won't be in vain "I died for my sins but I wouldn't change a thing" Oh captain, my captain we lived to seize the day We were drunk when we made a wrong turn Oh captain, my captain we're in trecherous waters We'll die at sea but we have an eternity to burn
