Everyone is happening, all the girls and boys
Everyone is trying, to make a little noise
Everyone is listening, nothing to say
Everyone is dying, to give themselves away
All of the pretending, all the pseudonyms
Play it like a board game, sing it like a hymn
It's bittersweet
It's bittersweet
Every curtain falls eventually
A big year in the headlines, you finally got your shot
Tough year in the bylines, no one read the plot
Big year at the box office, everyone's at your show
Strange year on the home front, nobody knows
Finally found your wheels kid, take 'em for a spin
Play it like a board game, sing it like a hymn
It's bittersweet
It's bittersweet
Every curtain falls eventually
You better take a picture, you better write it down
What you always wanted, won't always be around
It's bittersweet
It's bittersweet
Every curtain falls eventually
