lyrics

You forgot to say bye when you said it was time to go - Didn't think I'd be back so soon did you? / Where's the love that you spoke of? Where's the 'welcome home'? / I don't get it, but the other side misses you

One by one you'll end up just like the rest of us / In a line, waiting quietly for your turn / Resurrection's just a ploy to raise a fuss when everyone just ends up in the earth

So for one last time would you just plant one on my cheek and tell me you're alright and everything's a-ok?

You're going back to the old white tower where you'll wait for a higher power to tell you where you'll end up just like us

Hello love, how are you? I came for one last long look at you / We only just met, but it seems like it's been a lifetime since you came through the haze of waking up at the bottom of a barrel shaped just like a staircase, so I hope that you don't hate that I appreciate just looking at your face

So for one last time would you just plant one on my cheek, and tell me you're alright and everything's a-ok? / And It won't be long my darling girl before we meet up once again, because the bomb's only a minute or two away

So goodbye for the last time, it's my time to go - Gotta bring these idiots and their robes / They're all late for appointments with the boss above and he's not one that forgets to judge

I'll see you up in the old white tower waiting with a bouquet of flowers in my hands, smiling down from the back of the line / St. Peter's got your name on his tablet - I'll introduce you, and admit my habit disappeared when I met you, now I'm fine

You're going back to the old white tower where you'll wait for a higher power to tell you where you'll end up just like us / Sweating bullets waiting for your judgment - Did you pass? Did you fail? The subject's just enough to make you stand in line

The Dream Is Over
by PUP

supported by 27 fans who also own “Back To The Tower”

A pop-punk album full of both angst and maturity. A lot of this album is about growing up, but I've been consistently coming back to this album for over 5 years and it never gets old. evan_burman
