One night we lay beside each other, so close to a sweat
With two fans circling overhead, we sleep on borrowed time
And the traffic lights direct empty roads, the stars can't break the city
sky. But they still try despite what they know is already true
And tomorrow we'll take aim just like a storm waiting for a calm
I can feel everything coming, in my chest my heart's already pounding
My head's on far off highways, 16 years old, on a road that never ends
Might drive into something that looks like a sunset
It lasts forever, and I never look back
From Hoboken to L.A.
From Portland to Gainesville
From the Great Plains to Niagra
From Route 66 Straight to California
Electric lights carry the night
We move in 4/4 time
On feet, on wheels, and in the sky
Yes, we're going cause we'd die if we stayed here
And those dying dreams will carry what's good
And real and pure
And the rest can burn in hell
And for the 4 year old girl found dead in a dumpster, shot by her mother,
her eulogy is the sound of construction through head to head traffic.
Today is just another day. And me and my friends are just growing into the
drunks and the liars that we've always hated. Every shortcoming has trapped
us, every mistake is now our own infinite failure. So steal every chance we
get, every advantage is taken when no one's looking. Well hidden behind closed doors
and we won't stop untill we are people that we've decided we
should be. I wanna be a shot heard around the world, fuckin' unstoppable.
This distance is not something we'll regret. Between here and now and then and today
and forever and days after that till the very end.
