One Year Later - The Get Up Kids

Wandering the K-10

As anniversaries end

Pondering events that brought us here

If anyone remember when

Around the world and back again

Was a dream not quite so clear?

Overwhelms

Over the hills and away

Was not a mistake

Did that straight and narrow

Nailed self-righteous arrow

Get to be so decadent?

Could you trade your lessons

To have grown up in the process?

Remarks never relent

Learned by your examples

And we learned by your mistakes

Argue our positions

It’s a decision that we have to make

It’s not a mistake

If we had known

What we know now…

One year later, we’d still be around

Got your full attention

Over hours of speculation

Don’t you know who knows???

I know

Finally make decisions?

Finally work it out?

Finally let it go?

We’re not running backwards

Don’t you know

That we love reunion shows

This is not a swan song…

But it goes…

If we had known what we know now…

One year later, we’d still be around

If we had known what we know now…

One year later, we’d still be around, around, around
