Verse 1: When things don’t work out as planned, cause
different is different and different is good till it gets out of hand. When life
seems a travesty, just repeat after me.
Verse 2: When
things have gone from bad to worse, oh, father and mother and sister and brother
it’s like a curse. When you’re fed a spoonful of reality, just raise a glass
with me.
Chorus: Here’s to new beginnings and happy
endings, it’s just a little toast I like to think I coined. Here’s to new
beginnings and happy endings and may the two always be joined.
Verse 3: When dreams shatter like broken glass. When life kicks you
sober, with bruises all over and you’re on your ass. Just believe in the words I
say to be true and do as I do.
Verse 4: For some things
are out of our control. Why negate the good, till it’s misunderstood and have
nothing left at all? Just remember to follow my lead and say the only words you
need.
Chorus:
Bridge: Always be
joined like laughter and tears. Always be joined like courage and fear. Like
days, like weeks, like months, like years.
Chorus:
