lyrics

When your dad’s liver gave in
Yellow-skinned in the hospital bed
He couldn't speak, but those eyes
They were screaming, “Please, don’t leave”
And so your mom sat next to him
And you, you were nervous like a sin
Imagining that face in the dark with no one but the machines beeping

'Cause visiting hours don’t last forever
Visiting hours don’t last

Well you know I still owe you from that time when we closed down the bar
It was on your tab, and you had work in the morning
Pray for all our lost souls, with the way these 9-to-5’s go
We keep trading our lives in everyday for a living

When visiting hours don’t last forever
Visiting hours don’t last

So we meet out for another drink ‘cause you can’t sleep
When it’s so hot outside it’s like you can’t breathe
And we watch these kids run around like they own the streets
That used to be you, that used to be me

So tell me why we’re stuck like this again?
We wreck ourselves every night hoping this will end
Now I’m screaming out your name across the subway at Jefferson
We’re not so young but we’re not done fighting

So let’s bust down the door, cut through the ties
Break down the lies that kill off our lives
Cause I don’t need cash, don’t need no more time
I just need you here tonight

Visiting hours don’t last forever
Visiting hours don’t last
