lyrics

Let's put our party hats on
And get out tonight
We'll drink to our future
'Til we're hopeful and bright

And we won't destroy the moment
Worrying about money and life

We're gonna make our last stand
And do it up right
We can care about tomorrow
When we turn out the lights

I really can't remember
The last time that we felt right

Wash over me, eventide
Come down to me, eventide

I'm sorry for the hard words
The distrust and lies
And the drunken tirades
In the dead of the night

I guess I've lost my balance
I'm probably less than alright

Wash over me, eventide
Come down to me, eventide

I don't know whose side I'm on
I don't know what went wrong

Oh, maybe I'm wrong
Oh, baby, you're gone
[when you comin' home now?]

You've been pretty restless
Tired of drifting through life
I promise we can get through
If we focus our sights

On the life we should be living
The one where we're happy and light

Wash over me, eventide
Come down to me, eventide

Wash over me, eventide
Come down to me, eventide

Watch over me
Watch over me
Watch over me
Watch over me
