This is our attempt at 'Pop punk' and it still came out a little heavy.
This song is written to be a fun, cheesy number. It's another song about friendship but in a more positive spin. It's admitting to yourself that your getting older and things change - but it's okay! you've got friends and alcohol! yay alcohol!
If you notice the buffy reference in the music, you can be our new best friend.
lyrics
Everyone has said that it gets better as you get older
But now I'm 25 and still looking past my shoulder, this world gets colder
But that my friends is what beer is for!
So lock the doors, blast the tunes and I'll pour!
Here is to each darkened room
each 4am, each sleep 'til noon!
I tip my hat, here's to you!
Here is to each loyal friend
each jack & coke until the end
I've got your back, here's to you!
I raise my glass to you!
Everything is shit! and maybe we are stuck, so come on, fill your cup!
'Cuz we won't get out alive and the sun is coming up, so come on let's get fucked!
So my friends let's have a drink or four!
Lock the doors, blast the tunes and I'll pour!
Here is to each darkened room
each 4am, each sleep 'til noon!
I tip my hat, here's to you!
Here is to each loyal friend
each jack & coke until the end
I've got your back, here's to you!
I raise my glass to you!
Here is to each darkened room
each 4am, each sleep 'til noon!
I tip my hat, here's to you!
Here is to each loyal friend
each jack & coke until the end
I've got your back, here's to you!
I raise my glass to you!
(Kay - "Is pepsi ok?!"
Matt - "Fucksake!")
