The First And Last Of The Perfect Parties Songtext
I was stone-cold sober, eatin′ pizza on the lawn when the cops came
As the kids launched into their big song titled for their band name
You looked at me and laughed
And we fell on our backs into the wet grass
We were finished fighting, we were over crying
We were almost done with class
You didn't drink, so I didn′t either
You'd caught my eye and I caught you like a fever
And I tell no lie, no, you can't deny
As the kids launched into their big song titled for their band name
You looked at me and laughed
And we fell on our backs into the wet grass
We were finished fighting, we were over crying
We were almost done with class
You didn't drink, so I didn′t either
You'd caught my eye and I caught you like a fever
And I tell no lie, no, you can't deny
Hey yeah, it was a perfect party
Beer and sweat and delayed regret
And the red-hot hum of something starting
In spite of all the shit that came after it
Hey yeah, it was a perfect party
How could I have known when you drove me home?
It was the first and last of the perfect parties
The kids on stage ripped off their shirts and waved ′em
Thought the sight would blind us (Thought the sight would blind us)
We turned our heads and saw our two best friends
Makin′ out behind us (They were makin' out behind us)
Put a finger to my lips, felt your fingers on my hips
And you pulled me closer
(Pull me closer, pull me pull me closer, baby)
The singer stage-dived, or at least he tried
And the night was not quite over
(Never over, no, it′s never over, baby)
Everyone was waving inflatable hammers
The innocents and the seasoned scammers
And I tell no lie, no, you can't deny
Hey yeah, it was a perfect party
Beer and sweat and delayed regret
And the red-hot hum of something starting
In spite of all the shit that came after it
Hey yeah, it was a perfect party
How could I have known when you drove me home?
It was the first and last of the perfect parties
I wonder under under if you ever remember
That there was a time when we′d never surrender
We don't speak now, but I won′t forget it
I try sometimes but I can't regret it
Yeah, you can have the ending, but I'll keep the beginning
When we were wild, when we were winning
That night in April, our world was endless
And nobody was anxious or alone or friendless
When neither of us knew that one day you′d leave me
I gotta write it down so I believe me
Put a pen to paper, baby, sift through the sorrow
But I′m too drunk tonight, so I'll do it tomorrow
I′ll tell you a story, all sweet and starry
(Let me tell you, let me tell you)
'Bout the first and last of the perfect parties
(Let me tell you, let me tell you)
The first and last, oh the first and last
(Let me tell you, Let me tell you)
You were the first and last, you were the first and last
(Let me tell you, me tell you)
How could I have known when you drove me home?
It was the first and last of the perfect parties
Beer and sweat and delayed regret
And the red-hot hum of something starting
In spite of all the shit that came after it
Hey yeah, it was a perfect party
How could I have known when you drove me home?
It was the first and last of the perfect parties
The kids on stage ripped off their shirts and waved ′em
Thought the sight would blind us (Thought the sight would blind us)
We turned our heads and saw our two best friends
Makin′ out behind us (They were makin' out behind us)
Put a finger to my lips, felt your fingers on my hips
And you pulled me closer
(Pull me closer, pull me pull me closer, baby)
