Blow the candles out raise a gla*s to the night
Let all the tension out you've been wound up so tight
It's a tender trap to plan ahead all the time
If you measure the world by what you leave behind
Welcome to the saving grace
Welcome to the saving grace
There's a sunset on the road
Reappearing as we go
Keep the gla*s topped up it's not over just yet
Pull off the social bluff celebrate your success
Turn the sunlight out find a place in the shade
If you measure the world by the mark that you make
So welcome to the saving grace
Welcome to the saving grace
There's a sunset on the road
Reappearing as we go
If you measure the world by what you leave behind
Welcome to the saving grace
Welcome to the saving grace
There's a sunset on the road
Reappearing as we go
Reappearing as we go
Reappearing as we go
There's a sunset on the road
Welcome to the saving grace
