I'll be the neighbour that lives on the block
We got all of our instruments in the garage
When the sun sinks slow
We'll all split a fifth on the lawn
There's more beer in the fridge
Than ash on the table
We're singing away
And the cat's in the cradle
And you said "I love you"

And everything has a time and place
Like people we once knew
Who never change
And they still live as burdens in our brains
But you're no burden, you're my best days

So take the carvings and coyote
Our participation trophies
And let 'em lay down
Just let 'em lay down
On the swinging set and we watch the lights
Tires taken from a cliffside
They can say now they
Got a place now
And they said
"I love you"

You went and hit your head for the tenth time
Gabby's talking to the folks passing the fence line
I'm inside
Hanging up roadkill hide
We're on yesterday's jeans and t-shirts
Y2K country on the speaker
And I said
"I love you"

And everything has a time and place
Like those we only know has made-up names
And they still live as burdens in our brains
But you're no burden, you're my best days

So take the carvings and coyote
Our participation trophies
And let 'em lay down
Just let 'em lay down
On the swinging set and we watch the lights
Tires taken from a cliffside
The neighbours called in you late at night
A broken bottle and a bar fight
A fucked up flag and a sense of purpose
Drinking in the [?] till the shower curtain
Bump as we passed out in
Coffee table that was always way too crowded
Can't resist in convalescence
Clothes that got caught in your landlord's wreckage
They got a place now
They can stay now
And they said
"I love you"

Get away from the window
The neighbours can hear you howlin'
Get away from the window
The neighbours, the neighbours
The neighbours can hear you howlin'
The neighbours can hear you howlin'
