I've grown sick
I've gotten older
I finally have an audience to ignore me
I can yell all I want
But you still, still can't hear me

I'm pushin' myself out
Holdin' in my breath
I can't take this lightly
Throwing out the words that I said to you
I always do
Do what I'm not supposed to

Here's to us fools that have no meaning
I tip my glass to you
Lets toast the night away to friends
And forget about tomorrow

I might say things you want to hear
But someday you might care
And I won't be there
No I won't be there

Here's to us fools that have no meaning
I tip my glass to you
Lets toast the night away to friends
And forget about tomorrow
Forget about tomorrow

I'm pushing myself out
Holding in my breath
I've told you all that I want
Throwing out the words that I said to you
I always do
Do what I'm not supposed to

Here's to us fools that have no meaning
I tip my glass to you
Lets toast the night away to friends
And forget about tomorrow

Here's to us fools that have no meaning
I tip my glass to you
Lets toast the night away to friends
And forget about tomorrow

Here's to us fools that have no meaning
I tip my glass to you
Lets toast the night away to friends
And forget about tomorrow

    General Comment:This song really reminds me of my last year in H/S sitting around with my friends on Grad Night, talking about how things were... It also reminds me of my band... It's kind of like... You want your last night to last forever....You've spent so many years being a kid, and now you have to be an adult, and you're not quite ready for that... so you're drinking with your friends in rebellion... Oh yeah, scissorquiz, by the way... You suck.

If you're trying to get over someone, this is the song to listen to. Your real friends will always be there for you. To drink with, to chill with, to do whatever with. This song is awesome. NFG rules.

    General Comment:I think this song is prolly bout someone thinking about all the problems in their life but just saying to hell with it i'm gonna have fun and just forget about my problems for one night....i LOVE this song i have to admit I'm a sucker for songs where everyone starts singing in it (i'm obsessed with the NFG version of "Glory of Love" and Saves the Day's "Handsome Boy" simply for that fact)!

    General Comment:To me this song is about a guy who was in love with a girl, but then he realized that she didn't really care about him. Maybe the girl was really in love with someone else and this was a rebound relationship. He is mad and hurt because of finding this out and feels like a "fool" for not recognizing that he had "no meaning" to her earlier. He wants to forget about her through drinking and forgetting about her and what could have been in the future with his friends because he needs to do anything to keep his mind off of her.
