Song Description

The speaker is at a turning point, some major life transition -- it's vague enough to be applied to a graduation or another major rite of passage or parting. The speaker is looking back over a relationship (vague enough to be applied to family, friend, or lover) and is asking the other person to make tonight count, since everything will be different tomorrow. It would be an ideal, cost-effective substitute for the Green Day song everyone uses for everything ("Time of Your Life").

Lyrics

Do you remember back when we were kids
Backwoods and backstreets leading home again
Home again
Just long enough to long again

Do you remember stumbling growing up
Propping each other up when things got tough
Praying luck
Would be enough to keep us loved

But tonight we stand
At the edge of something different
Tonight we wait
Face to face with our farewell
But let tomorrow know
Today is all we've really got my friend
So let's pretend tonight never ends
So let's pretend tonight never ends

Today they told us just how much we'd grown
Before they told us it was time go
It alone
Time to spend what we had stole

So tonight we stand
At the edge of something different
Tonight we wait
Face to face with our farewell
But let tomorrow know
Today is all we've really got my friend
So let's pretend tonight never ends
So let's pretend tonight never ends

Tonight they're gathering at The Line
Telling tales about the golden times
I'll meet you there but I won't say goodbye
Say goodbye

Come tomorrow things won't be the same
I'll meet you somewhere we forget our names
Forget our past
But remember nothing good can last

Oh tonight we stand
At the edge of something different
Tonight we wait
Face to face with our farewell
But let tomorrow know
Today is all we've really got my friend
So let's pretend tonight never ends
So let's pretend tonight never ends
