Will you look back when you're old and grey
And think those dumb kids had a lot to say
When we were trying to make this night one you'd remember?
I don't care if my wheels don't turn
I don't care if my pipe don't burn
As long as I am flowing through your veins after I'm gone away

It saved our souls for us to see
What we wrote down was meant to be
Something someone (Something someone)
Could hold on to (Could hold on to)
And maybe sing along
And maybe pull you through

Look back when you're old and grey
And think those dumb kids had a lot to say
When we were trying to make this night one you'd remember
I don't care if my wheels don't turn
I don't care if my pipe don't burn
As long as I am flowing through your veins after I'm gone away

Well, I still look for you when we play your song
I hope you hear it and you sing along
But it doesn't seem to have the same effect now
You just look back with an empty stare
I try to love you but there's nothing there
To keep your memory flowing through my veins
After you've gone away

I will play the smallest violin
Let it be loud enough to get over you and all your friends
Yeah, I will sing these words to make it true
Through and through so you know
How much I hate you

I will play the smallest violin
Let it be loud enough to get over you and all your friends
Yeah, I will sing these words through and through
So you still know
How much I hate you

Look back when you're old and grey
(I will play the smallest violin)
And think those dumb kids had a lot to say
(Let it be loud enough to get over you and all your friends)
When we were trying to make this night one you'd remember
(I will sing these words through and through)
I don't care if my wheels don't turn
I don't care if my pipe don't burn
(So you still know)
As long as I am flowing through your veins after I'm gone away
