Lyrics
We broke up the band in a parking lot fight Over who stole the van, over who stayed out all night Ten years of silence, then a text out of the blue Says the bar needs a band and it's got to be you Dusty old drum kit, a harmonica gone flat Our singer's got a belly and a brand new hat We stumble through the first verse, forgetting every line But the crowd starts singing and it all turns out fine We're back together and barely in tune Singing out loud under a borrowed moon Missed all the notes, but we hit every heart Back together, and we're never gonna part Van's got a rattle and the heater won't start But we've got four voices and one beating heart Old songs still fit like a worn leather glove We never stopped being the ones we were made of We're back together and barely in tune Singing out loud under a borrowed moon Missed all the notes, but we hit every heart Back together, and we're never gonna part Hey, hey, remember when Hey, hey, here we go again Clap your hands and stomp your feet Four old friends and a ragged beat We're back together and barely in tune Singing out loud under a borrowed moon Missed all the notes, but we hit every heart Back together, and we're never gonna part Barely in tune, barely in tune Back together, and we're never gonna part
