[00:08.47]I pull up to your house, the same time, the same place
[00:12.65]And I see a hint of that old smile come dancing ‘cross your face,
[00:16.98]That says you’re looking to start a fire,
[00:23.09]To walk on a wire
[00:34.47]There’s nothing standing in our way; no, the highway is clear,
[00:38.91]And I steal a glance over at you in my rearview mirror
[00:43.66]I feel alive when you sit so close to me
[00:52.00]We’ll put the pedal on the floor until we hit the coast,
[00:56.43]And stash our inhibition in the trunk with the ghosts
[01:01.27]Of those “promising kids” we used to be,
[01:07.06]Like that meant anything
[01:10.58]So we’ll drive away, toward the lights of the city
[01:19.87]We’ll drive away,break a hundred and fifty
[01:27.21]They say every road ends in just another little town,
[01:31.83]And every high finds its way to an equal comedown,
[01:36.23]But we won’t believe them
[01:40.14]We can’t feel our wheels touch the ground
[01:45.12]So you made yourself pretty. You put your high heels on tonight
[01:49.43]And the way that you toss back your hair, baby, you look alright
[01:53.75]“It’s all disguise and misdirection,” you fessed up
[02:02.43]You say “I won’t go to work tomorrow, I won’t even call in
[02:07.12]And what my mama doesn’t know, it doesn’t count as a sin.”
[02:11.20]So let’s get messed up. You look so nice all dressed up
[02:39.00]So we’ll drive away, toward the lights of the city
[02:47.46]We’ll drive away, break a hundred and fifty
[02:55.50]They say every road ends in just another little town,
[02:59.67]And every high finds its way to an equal comedown,
[03:04.28]But we won’t believe them
[03:07.60]We can’t feel our wheels touch the ground
[03:12.65]We’re animalistic. We howl into the night
[03:17.88]We close our eyes and we feel like we’re in flight
[03:22.05]We feel sleep calling but we give a battle cry and we fight on and on and on and on…
[03:30.75]We throw our hands in the air,
[03:32.70]But it feels less like a celebration
[03:35.40]Than an exhausted form of capitulation
[03:39.00]“Freedom” you scream, as we cross the county line
[03:46.20]Then you open your eyes
[03:52.00]Escape has always been a dream
[03:56.50]It’s just a lie
