lyrics

I don't get my hopes up anymore
that when work is done and you and I walk out the door
that come 5:15 you and me will be drunk and carrying on
till 3 (not like it used to be)

All this talk of getting old - how every day's a miracle
I think it's time we settled down so you can see
Why prolong the agony

(Chorus)
Cuz I - can't keep hanging around - those days that used to be
Oh no cuz I - I know what I know now - and I know what it means

Time marches on I'm in love what's that song
They got pictures to prove we were there
We all know that things must change but tell me
why can't it remain as it was when I last stopped to stare
And all those things that you believed you're wishing now
you could retrieve there's no guarantees delete your head
reboot your heart
It's just this changing of the guard now honey
don't take it so hard just gotta get these kids to bed
Start the car

(Chorus)

I can't take no more…all this falling down on the floor
cuz it's 9:15 and I've arrived but we can't keep carrying on 'til three

Cuz I can't take no more
So help me up off the floor
Cuz it's 12:15 and I'm alive but we can't keep
Carrying on till three (can we?)
Now it's 2:15 and it looks like we...
will be... carrying on til three!
