Song lyrics

Send "Closing Time" ringtones to your cell

Closing time
Open all the doors and let you out into the world
Closing time
Turn all of the lights on over every boy and every girl
Closing time
One last call for alcohol so finish your whiskey or beer
Closing time
You don’t have to go home but you can’t stay here

I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
Take me home

Closing time
Time for you to go out to the places you will be from
Closing time
This room won't be open til' your brothers or your sisters come 
So gather up your jackets
Move it to the exits
I hope you have found a friend
Closing time
Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end
Yeah

I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
Take me home

Closing time
Time for you to go out to the places you will be from

I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
Take me home

I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home 
I know who I want to take me home 
Take me home

Closing time
Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end

39 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I think we can all find our own meaning to it. I miss this song a lot, I remember I used to love it and somehow forgot about it as I have forgot about songs like 'The Way'. Well I really like this song, it is wonderful. CHEERS!

13 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal this is such a great song. it's about growing up and remembering the great days of your youth while at the same time encouraging us to move forward into another stage of our life hopefully with friends or lovers that we have discovered in this stage of our life.

25 posts	Yah, I love this song. I love the music. The version with the piano in the background is lovely. Yeah, I don't really think the lyrics mean much, but it sounds to me as if it's about closing time at a bar, maybe? Anyway, I doubt it's about a baby being born But snowman1 definitely has a good explanation. Nice song tho

33 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal this is an awesome song. it sounds like it might be about having ur kids grow up and having to let them out into the world. then again since they mention alcohol it makes sense that its about a bar closing. i dont really know though. it doesnt matter cuz its for the music not the words. (thats what i tell my mom when she says not to listen to songs w/"bad words" )

3,451 posts	This is from that website someone posted above: What is Closing Time About? How Did You Write It? Dan: I thought of the first verse of Closing Time pretty much all at once while playing the guitar. The chorus too (it's only one line). I was trying to write a song for the end of our sets, to say, "Goodnight, get out, we love you but we're done," to the fans. But it turned into something else, the first verse about times I've been in a bar at the end of the night trying to get up the courage to talk to a woman. The next verse I tried a bunch of ideas and then a week or so later I thought of the idea of being "bounced" from the womb and being born. But the beauty of music is that you can interpret it in your own way. So if it means something else to you that's okay. It can! I love that line - "every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end" Love this song. And I've been wondering for ages who it was by. I couldn't remember the name of this band at all. I'm glad I finally remembered to look it up!
