It Don't Work Like That

Long live the life of the party Loud and foolhardy Senior of the Freshman class Always good for another round Good for a mess around Good for never lookin' back What's the point in that? He's lovin' where he's at And he's at the homecoming tailgate Anywhere they congregate Sippin' on a real good time It don't ever end So if you want a piece of him Better take your place in line Best years, best friends If he remembers them Cause, when he puts on that face Lightin' up every place He's giving it all away Holdin' nothin' back Cold as a rolling stone Don't wanna be alone So He just keeps rolling on So he won't crash But it don't work like that When he stumbles home Yeah, he's still alone With or without someone The High King of Hearts House made of cards Only built for having fun Playing the clown Will bring the whole thing down Cause when he puts on that face Lightin' up every place He's giving it all away Holding nothin' back Cold as a rolling stone Don't wanna be alone So he keeps rolling on So he won't crash But it don't work like that Smoke from the ashes Ghosts from the past Can't haunt you if you let 'em go They say time is a healer Devil's a dealer And better men can keep' em both But that's a show The one thing I know Is, it don't work like that
