One More Song [Firework Over the Freeway]

Hanging out on those old wooden bleachers
We all sang the farewells to our youth
And the fireworks lifted us up above our blues

We finish a song and raise our bottles
Start another and kick them back again
And that's when I call a toast for all my closest friends:

Here's to infinity
Here's to the life we lead
Here's to these nights I never want to put behind me

As the sun sets on today
And sets our sky aflame
We know that come tomorrow, we will never be the same

But I don't want these carefree days to go away

So we'll put on one more song
'Cause we're 18 and the night's still young
We'll keep this town awake until we're done
Sing it out:

Here's to infinity
Here's to the life we lead
Here's to these nights I never want to put behind me

As the sun sets on today
And sets our sky aflame
We know that come tomorrow, we will never be the same

But I don't want these carefree days to go away

Do you remember that old abandoned pier
Where we used to hang at night?
The sound of water and the distant Midtown lights

We'd swap bittersweet nostalgia
Wondering what might lay ahead
And that's when I'd call the toast for all my closest friends:

Here's to infinity
Here's to the life we lead
Here's to these nights I never want to put behind me

As we look out on the waterway
We feel this moment slip away
And we know that come tomorrow, we may never be the same

No, we can't let the memory fade --

Let's put on one more song
'Cause we're 18 and the night's still young
And we'll keep this tired town awake until that song is sung!

Here's to infinity
Here's to the life we lead
Here's to these nights I never want to put behind me

As we look out on the waterway
And the sun sets on today
We know that come tomorrow, we may never be the same
No, we may never be the same

So let us wish these carefree days won't go away
Let us wish these carefree days won't go away
