Nothing Left to Lose
Transit Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Happy birthday kid, now go ahead and make a wish
For everything that's old and gray to turn back to new again
Happy birthday friend, let's raise a glass for what's ahead
For all the nights that never end, “let's raise a couple more”, I said
Happy birthday me, I'm spilling over everything
We drank away the drinks for free; they always seem to follow me
Happy birthday you, the trouble we could get into
When I got nothing else to do, and you got nothing left to lose

Let's go and bury our conditions
With s** and alcohol and songs with our friends
You call it crazy; it's all that we've ever been
We're making everything old feel new again

Happy birthday kid, tonight we're taking off the edge
Slow down and tell me what you did, so tell me everything
Happy birthday, well I think we got enough for bail
I think we do but I can't tell, we'll probably spend the night in jail
Happy birthday me, I drank away the memories
Do you remember 21? I don't remember 17
Happy birthday you, the trouble we could get into
When you got nothing else to do, and I got nothing left to lose

Let's go and bury our conditions
With s** and alcohol and songs with our friends
You call it crazy; it's all that we've ever been
We're making everything old feel new again

And I got nothing left to lose

Let's go and bury our conditions
With s** and alcohol and songs with our friends




You call it crazy; it's all that we've ever been
We're making everything old feel new again
