I see the fire burning brighter
As it sets us apart
Illuminating conversations
Whilst drinking in the dark
We may not be perfect people
We were never meant to be
The drinking melts our minds a little
We miss this winter breeze
Song and dance, we all fade away
It's our night, it's just begun
The music and noise turns into a whisper
We're not innocent, just love to be young
Let's change the world, let's set the pace
We can drive the morning to the end
Perhaps it'll never cross their minds
We can change the world, let's set the pace
We can explain or understand why we're here
Let's just forget ourselves for tonight
Be right here for the rest of our lives
These are the words of each generation
On top of the world
And we'll just leave everything else behind
Take our memories and go out that line
Hope someday they'll come back
We'll see exactly what we see
Then they'll come calling
Then they'll come
The night has ended, it's an empty room
It's an empty room
It's a ghost town, the neighbors aren't home
We should have known that right from the start
We'd all end this night alone
One more chance, we'd clear those sounds
They didn't see us, so we can't be blamed
None from the bottles, a few of us apart
Then we wander these streets again
My heart is aching, my body is sweating
I'm waiting for myself to calm down
The day that's all back now, we'll be breaking
Whatever I choose to do, I'll do it right now
Let's just forget ourself for tonight
Be right here for the rest of our lives
These are the words of a generation on top of the world
And we'll just leave everything else behind
Take our best, take our best

Every reason, go out there blind
Hope someday they'll see exactly what we see
Then they'll come calling
Then they'll come
Let's just forget ourself for tonight
Be right here for the rest of our lives
These are the words of a generation on top of the world
And we'll just leave everything else behind
Take our memories and go out there blind
Hope someday they'll see exactly what we see
Let's just forget ourself for tonight
Be right here for the rest of our lives
These are the words of a generation on top of the world
And we'll just leave everything else behind
Take our memories and go out there blind
Hope someday they'll see exactly what we see
Take our memories and go out there blind
Hope someday they'll see exactly what we see
