I'd thought for you
Please believe I'm telling the truth,
But they didn't hear a word I said,
Every word went right over their heads
They told me you
Could've done almost anything
But now it's too late to worry
It's all done and I'm so sorry
I hate to have to tell this to you
Now, I really do
I hope you have a safe flight home
And a happy new year, too
While you're home, don't feel so sad
Think of all the fun you'll have
Now you can play any song that you want,
Now you can use real drums if you want,
You don't have to change your name, if you want
There's a million dreams from which you'll have to choose
Now there's nothing left but time to lose
I don't see how
No one's really listening now
But you just know you're that important
I know you believe I suffered for it
I'll just go back
I make every town this path
And make myself believe it's real
Tell myself out loud, "I know it's real"
While you're home, don't feel so sad
Think of all the fun you'll have
Now you can play any song that you want,
You don't have to use real drums, if you want,
You don't have to change your name, if you want
There's a million dreams from which you'll have to choose,
Now there's nothing left but time to lose
Now there's nothing left but time to lose
