The Party that Never Ends

[Verse]

When I was five years old, I fell off a boat in my godmother's lake

Because I was holding on to the rail too hard

My older sister says I was underwater for only enough time to just about avoid death by drowning

But I remember sinking all the way down to the bottom

Where I saw creatures I still don't recognize to this day

Some of them spoke to me

I don't think I was the same thing I was before by the time they pulled me out

But maybe that's not such a bad thing

I've rеalized recently that it doеsn't really matter

I've been running for a long, long time

For years

I know I can't find what I'm looking for

And I've wasted so much time

But I don't regret a thing

I've changed

I've done so much, seen so much

I've slept weeping, and weeping I've waked

Tears like you wouldn't believe

But laughter too

So much laughter, so much love

I thought my body was different

I thought I could never die

But now I know, I know the truth

My head hurts, but I know the truth

I know that love is the only thought and pain is the only feeling

And I'm ready to dance

I don't know what happened to me

But I don't really care anymore

One day, I was asleep, another awake

So what?

All I've ever wanted was to move to the music

To be at a party that never ended

They used to chase me with hammers down the street

Boo-hoo, right? But I'm okay

I would have liked to lose it all with you

I would have liked to lose myself

Lose myself the way I used to long ago

Back when I still had some life left in me

I would close my eyes and be in a great big forest

Or on an empty beach at sunrise

Or in some strange and beautiful city

It's nighttime, but the birds are singing

The streets are dead, but they look great in the moonlight

And I'm just walking along them

I'm looking for something to love, but it's not that big a deal

It's raining, but I'm alright

I'm just walking, I'm ready

I'm ready to move

[Outro]

I'll always love you

But I've got to go now

They're all waiting for me

It's been real

Goodbye
