Old friend, please stop on by
I've been waiting here to tell you all my life
Where have you been?
When it starts to rain
It's been way too long since I last heard your name
Now the waves just keep crashing
And there's not much I can do
And the tides just keep rolling back to you

So hold on to your hats this story gets loud
and fun, and sad
And ladies and gentlemen
we'll be back with a happier ending
Oh hold on
it's not that bad it's just the best dream I ever had
We're back in the car, but now I'm mad because it's ending
But wouldn't that be something

Oh don't lie, I know you see it too
We're dancing like we're strangers in your room
And I could describe it
Say that things happen if they're due
But you never understand that 'til it's true
Now the waves just keep crashing
And there's not much I can do
And the tides just keep rolling back to you

So hold on to your hats this story gets loud
and fun, and sad
And ladies and gentlemen
we'll be back with a happier ending
Oh hold on
it's not that bad it's just the best dream I ever had
We're back in the car, but now I'm mad because it's ending
But wouldn't that be something

Oh
Wouldn't that be something
Oh
Oh
Oh

So hold on, here's your hat
I hope my story made you laugh
And I told you I'd be back with a better ending
So hold on, it's not that bad
I wrote it down, this dream I had
And now I'm mad because it's ending
Wouldn't that be something
