lyrics

"It's a Dangerous Business (Going out Your Door)"

Keep the fire
while I’m inside
I’ll not be a minute
We’ve lost the light
But it’s still bright
We’ll put it out when we are finished

And O
I know
I couldn’t leave you alone
I hope
You know
I’m always comin home

The air is sweeter here
I found love and hate
And longing here my dear
The birds sing winter's song
And come the flames of fall
And the time that we loved wasting
Is not wasted at all

And though I’m poor
What’s mine is yours
I’ve got no change
But we always find a way
In your backyard
With our guitars
There’s always room for more
Well we could stop the car
Just to stare up at the stars
We never get too lost 'cause we never get too far

And O
I know
I couldn’t leave you alone
I hope
You know
I’m always comin home

The air is sweeter here
I found love and hate
And longing here my dear
The birds sing winter's song
And come the flames of fall
And the time that we loved wasting
Is not wasted at all

Something that I was taught
But not so much I’ve found
Was If you listen punk rock
You’re supposed to hate you’re town
And I never wonder how
The friendships that I found
Will all still be around
Though we leave The Shire for now

And the air is just a little more clear
In the trees and lakes and fields
And mountains here
The streams sing summer's melody
And come the days of spring
When we’ve wasted all our time
We haven’t wasted anything

The air is sweeter here
I found love and hate
And longing here my dear
The birds sing winter's song
And come the flames of fall
And the time that we loved wasting
Is not wasted at all


And though I left an empty room
I’ll be home before too soon
Strap on your skateboard shoes
We’ve got so much time to lose
