Life of the Party Songtext
von Matt & Toby

I picked up an old acoustic
Thought my hands knew how to use it
But these days aren′t like the old ones
But the songs we sang on the long way home
I sat back down beside the girl who was texting and laughed out loud over obsessions with next things
And how every good song has the words tonight
Take back and burn by your side miss the way and I will never learn
So if there's nothing new to say then let′s just say it all again tonight
We had the best times of our lives
(Woah oh woah oh)
Let's do it all again
Take back my place there by your side
(Woah oh woah oh)
And never let it in
The hours pass like days
The nights were our escape
We held onto our friends and made a couple million mistakes
We were so reckless and young
(Woah oh Woah oh)
Go get your CD case (woah oh woah oh)


Let's drive around this town sing Dashboard at the top of our lungs
(Yeah)
I still remember my parents divorcing
10 long years on the back and forth thing
Finally I saw it in my mother′s eyes
A road you can choose that you can′t come back from
Words you can say to add some traction
But it's what you didn′t say that keeps you awake
So we tell ourselves "it's late" and then we save it for another day
We had the best times of our lives
(Woah oh woah oh)
Let′s do it all again
Take back my place there by your side
(Woah oh woah oh)
And never let it in
The hours pass like days
The nights were our escape
We held onto our friends and made a couple million mistakes
We were so reckless and young
(Woah oh Woah oh)
Go get your CD case (woah oh woah oh)
Let's drive around this town sing Dashboard at the top of our lungs
(Don′t even go back I wanna go back tonight)
Could it be there we're one in the same
The world never showed but it gave us a name
That holding your heart is the same shape as mine
The pieces gone missing that build up our lives
I'll stand here and I′ll take the worst
But the song was my own and I sang every verse
I′m giving myself up
There's nowhere to run
Just for one night
Forget all our pride
And have fun
I wanna go back to the life of the party
(I wanna go back I wanna go back tonight)
We had the best times of our lives
(Woah oh woah oh)
Let′s do it all again
Take back my place there by your side
(Woah oh woah oh)
And never let it in
The hours pass like days
The nights were our escape
We held onto our friends and made a couple million mistakes
We were so reckless and young
(Woah oh Woah oh)
Go get your CD case (woah oh woah oh)
Let's drive around this town sing Dashboard at the top of our lungs
