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 warning
And you'd have to just go home
verse 2
And the way it all went by
And somebody said "come on its getting late"
And you thought the world might end if you just looked the other way
And now you wish that you had stayed
Pre-Chorus
And there's so much more that you could see if you just stick around
And all the street light secrets whispering 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
verse 3
And the days are all the same
And the town so big and no one knows your name
And the people fade away
And all stars are just a flicker
And you're left there all alone
Pre-Chorus
And there's so much more that you could see if you just stick around
And all the street light secrets whispering 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
Solo
Chorus (2x)
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
