Words

Verse 1

Tobias, that amp is still exactly where we left it
Under a tarp and a bicycle and Dad's old licence plate
I plugged it in on Tuesday and it hummed like it was mad
Then it cleared its throat and gave me back the loudest thing we had
You said you'd quit, you said you're forty, you said your back is done
I said the drums are in the corner and the new year has begun

Pre-Chorus

So bring the sticks, bring the bad knee, bring whatever's left
Bring the songs we never finished and we'll finish them tonight

Chorus

Amp in the garage, snow on the drive
We are not too old, we are barely even tired
One more terrible chorus, one more blown-out night
Amp in the garage, brother, turn it up and let it fly

Verse 2

We never played a show, we never even booked a room
We wrote eleven verses and we lost about a few
Mum banged on the ceiling and we told her it was art
She said the art can wait till after supper, that's the start
Now you've got a kid and I've got twelve-hour shifts
But the tarp came off on Tuesday and the whole thing still exists

Chorus

Amp in the garage, snow on the drive
We are not too old, we are barely even tired
One more terrible chorus, one more blown-out night
Amp in the garage, brother, turn it up and let it fly

Bridge

Two hours in the cold and both our hands were gone
Your daughter stood there in the doorway asking what is wrong
We said nothing, kid, we're happy — that is what it sounds like on

Final Chorus

Amp in the garage, snow on the drive
We are not too old, we are barely even tired
One more terrible chorus, one more blown-out night
Amp in the garage, brother — happy new year, hold it tight

Outro

Same time, next December, don't you dare to sell that thing
Same tarp, same bicycle, same plate against the wall
Amp in the garage, Tobias — we are not done at all
