lyrics

When we were young we’d pretend we’re old
We’d lie in the sun and complain of the cold
To find love was the simplest of tasks
We’d straighten our backs and pull from the flask
And be off on an age-old pursuit
To be all the things we’d now courage to do

So, “Bring ‘em on,” we’d chant in the night
Bring ‘em on, let your live be the light
Bring ‘em on, yell the captain and crew
Bring ‘em on for the spirit of youth

When we were young we swore not to change
We believed that perfection had already came
And every word held the weight of the world
Unfurled form the tongue to the ear of a girl
With wonder and lust in her eyes
To be ready to die, yet never more alive

So, “Bring ‘em on,” we chant in the night
Bring ‘em on, let your live be the light
Bring ‘em on for the here and the gone
Bring ‘em on for the solace of song

A lone cat makes his way down the street
His black and white coat is matted and streaked
We share a glance in the pink morning sun
And salute a good night and another to come
We both hold our passion and pride
We follow our instincts to the end of the line

So, “Bring ‘em on,” we chant in the night
Bring ‘em on, let your live be the light
Bring ‘em on, yell the captain and crew
Bring ‘em on for the spirit of youth
Bring ‘em on, we chant in the night
Bring ‘em on, let your live be the light
Bring ‘em on for the here and the gone
Bring ‘em on for the solace of song
