I wake up and eat, I go back to sleep
But we can’t make life pay
Recycle reuse, resent and refuse
All of our fears come true again
Our parent’s ideals and views
Wasted youth there wasn’t much to waste
All across the world, people going mad
Afraid to roam in love with second best
With high schools built like prisons
We drink and I bandage your wrists
And everyone she questions never seems to know
We hug and we kiss
Everything old is new again
Everything old is new again
Everything under the sun
Everything under the sun
We sit and make lists
We’ve paid our dues
Down to the bone and still losing weight
With all the wishing in the world glistening in her eyes
She thinks the afterlife might
And let my nightmares repeat
Everything old is new again
That’s how it is, and I’ll see you later
But when I say I love her, she thinks I’m telling lies
Everything under the sun
Who they are where they are going?
Somewhere in the world, she’s hosting her own show
Just be where the action is
Is it all lost no, we never had it
Now that I’m back with you again
In their mother’s cars, kids are feeling sad
She can’t find a way to live
Now that I’m without you again
Moved back home to fill the empty nest
