| It was the last week of school
|
| And I never play the fool
|
| But the night’s calling so soon, electric light
|
| There was Iris Avalon with the waves against the stars
|
| My attention set on you, what was I to lose?
|
| And I was cryin'
|
| I can’t wait
|
| The party’s one day away
|
| I won’t throw
|
| This labor of love away
|
| And the feeling it won’t come to pass
|
| And you just can’t hardly wait
|
| I won’t throw this labor of love away
|
| Took a glance at your tattoos as you walked across the room
|
| There was nothing left to do Friday night
|
| I was supposed to pick a side with the moonlight in your eyes
|
| The youth of a thousand summer nights
|
| Focus, align
|
| We were blitzed out of our minds
|
| Seeing double half the time
|
| Broken mirrors on the lawn
|
| The raiders survived
|
| And I was cryin'
|
| I can’t wait
|
| The party’s one day away
|
| I won’t throw
|
| This labor of love away
|
| And the feeling it won’t come to pass
|
| And you just can hardly wait
|
| I won’t throw this labor of love away
|
| Whatever is always on your mind
|
| It may be a wicked froth of life
|
| Trembling through your fingertips and bones
|
| It helps us to think we are not alone
|
| I can’t wait
|
| The party’s one day away
|
| I won’t throw
|
| This labor of love away
|
| And the feeling it won’t come to pass
|
| And you just can’t hardly wait
|
| I won’t throw this labor of love away
|
| You really can’t love someone who’s loved |
