Parade

When the slow parade went past

When it felt so good, you knew it couldn't last

And all too soon, the end was gonna come without a warnin'

And you'd have to just go home

And the way it all went by

When somebody said, "Come on, it's gettin' late"

And you thought the world might end if you just look the other way

And now you wish that you had stayed

And there's so much more that you could see if you just stick around

And all the street light secrets whisperin' for you to come back out

Oh, no, there's so much more that you need to work out

Oh, no, you don't want that parade to leave you now

Right now

And the days are all the same

And the town so big that no one knows your name

And the people fade away, and all the stars are just a flicker

And you're left there all alone, oh

When there's so much more that you could see if you just stick around

And all the street light secrets whisperin' for you to come back out

Oh, no, there's so much more that you need to work out

Oh, no, you don't want that parade to leave you now

When the music's over

But the song stays in your head, hey

Oh, no, there's so much more that you need to work out

Oh, no, you don't want that parade to leave you now

(Yeah, yeah) Well, there's so much more that you need to work out

(Yeah, yeah) And you don't want that parade to leave you now
