January 21st Lyrics

A thousand better reasons

To look handsome in a suit

This time we all look handsome for you

And we're all here

And snow is falling from the sky

Like frozen tears

Like someone planned this whole good-bye

January 21st

We are of dust, to dust we turn

Another thousand reasons

To play "Against the grain"

But in these songs you safely remain

Three chords away

From any kind of salvation

That's when we laid

A tie that binds: a foundation

Kinda wore thin as we grew up

Between kindred minds but severed not

Too late too soon, too soon too late

You'll always stay 16 in my head

Too soon too late, too late too soon

All my hymns seem out of tune

Under six feet of memories

Stories I remember all so well

I missed a lot more in the years between

Grateful for the ones I live to tell

While I dance in borrowed shoes to a fading tune

From all my heart: Thank you and farewell!

While I dance in borrowed shoes to a fading tune

From all my heart: Thank you and farewell!

Thank you and farewell!

Thank you and farewell!

From all my heart:

Thank you and farewell!

Thank you and farewell!

Thank you and farewell!

From all my heart:

Thank you and farewell!
