around the block

i want to know

what's been going on

what's around the block

i'd like to die

with the songs i love stuck in my head

seeming seamless

it was never easy enough

to keep a smile thin

while they pushed into bed

feeling fearless

it was never easy enough

to figure friends from foes

and so this story goes. i want to know

what's been going on

what's around the block

i'd like to die

with the songs i love stuck in my head

i hope to make the most

of all those hollow bones we become

wo-oh

i raise a toast

to the souls that sang all along

feeling fearless

it was never easy enough

to keep my feet on ground

and head out of the clouds

i want to know

what's been going on

what's around the block

i'd like to die

with the songs i love stuck in my head

i hope to make the most

of all those hollow bones we become

wo-oh

i raise a toast

to the souls that sang all along

i've been gathering friends

just to make some sound

before the ship goes down

and

i've been making amends

by making the rounds before the whole world ends

and

i've been gathering friends

just to make some sounds

before the ship goes down. i want to know

what's been going on

what's around the block

i'd like to die

with the songs i love stuck in my head

i hope to make the most

of all those hollow bones we become

we all could raise a toast

to the souls that sang all alone

i hope to make the most

we all could raise a toast

i'd like to die

with the songs i love stuck in my head.
