Lyrics Common Ground - The Get Up Kids

Common Ground

One day the kids will have a clue
They can fill you in
Research would have taken hours
Walking backwards just to get
To your present
Where you might find common ground
All your old friends
Scared of the end
Maybe I’ll write a dissertation
Or keep it to myself
Seems it’s shorter every year
What we’re calling generations
It’s almost to the hour
Do you remember when?
Old man, stay quiet
It’s not your time
Way out I know, time to let go
Who said it lasts forever?
These words play on
Long since I’ve gone
It’s heavy on my soul
Last night I tried
For the last time
Way out I know, time to let go
Who said it lasts forever?
These words play on
Long since I’ve gone
It’s heavy on my soul
