"Here's To Things Gone Wrong" lyrics

With nitroglycerine dripping off our chins
And elbows sliding off the bar
We speak and breathe and charm our way
Under trains and between cars

I'm drinking whatever you're buying
If you've got enough left to see it through
I say we soak ourselves to the bone
I'm not going home unless it's with you

Kickstart the night and drown the world face down in a loud song
Let's start a fire and let the scorned drink to things gone wrong
We won't appreciate these days until they're all gone
We never recognize what's right so here's to thing gone wrong

I need some kind of savior to pull me from this seat
From the people, from the smell, from the price, from the heat
From the way they purchase hope with their last of change
While they try to look different but they're all the same

I got one more song left on the jukebox
And then I'm all yours
I got two left feet so tired of standing
Let's hit the door before we hit the floor

Kickstart the night and drown the world face down in a loud song
Let's start a fire and let the scorned drink to things gone wrong
We won't appreciate these days until they're all gone
We never recognize what's right so here's to thing gone wrong

I'm not going anywhere where they know me, anytime, anymore
Sidestep the misspent souls from high school
I spent years learning to ignore
And the masses of throbbing kids in tight t-shirts packed into this bar
All praying for half an hour of romance
All half lucky they made it this far

So with a night two years in the making
And a half a mind to run as fast as I can
Amidst a life spent going crazy
Come and save me from inside my head

Kickstart the night
And drown the world face down in a loud song
Let's start a fire
And let the scorned drink to things gone wrong
We won't appreciate these days until they're all gone
We never recognize what's right
So here's to thing gone wrong
Kickstart the night
And drown the world face down in a loud song
Let's start a fire
And let the scorned drink to things gone wrong
We won't appreciate these days until they're all gone
We never recognize what's right
