closing time

for some reason this song came to my head at 2am.
closing time by semisonic.

closing time
open all the doors and let you out into the world
closing time
turn all of the lights on over every boy and every girl
closing time
one last call for alcohol so finish your whiskey or beer
closing time

you don't have to go home but you can't stay here

so i can't stay here...

it's time to go home eh...
life planning 101 begins again.
and the struggle will begin to occupy my time...
or as proven many times before...
there will be no struggle at all.

so gather up your jackets
move it to the exits
i hope you have found a friend
closing time
every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end

it's time go get back to where i came from.
it seems odd this time to go back.
home now seems somewhat like a foreign place...

i've enjoyed my time here
and the abrupt stop
will bring a time for change.

every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end

thinking of the things i'll lose...
i've gained more than i would have thought.
i've gained a brother and sister.

when one leaves, one comes back.
god provides.
trust those two words.
because he has never failed.

in the time here...
a mere two years...
it's been eventful...

here's to an accomplishment
that was challenging and fulfilling.

we gather and we depart
we gather and we depart
one significant part of everyday life.
with different time scales at play.

it's time to enjoy the time that's left.
