You should quit that job that you never liked Tell your friends you’re tired of going out every night Come and meet me at dark Don’t tell anyone
We could keep on driving till we found somewhere With so many new faces and love in the air We won’t have to go far To find what we want
I spend all of my time Staring at ceilings Watching em peeling Never wondering why I feel so defeated Whether I need this
I’ll be the driver You’ll be the getaway car I’ll be the lighter You’ll be the burns on my arm I know it’s hard in a place like this Growing up somewhere that can’t fit ya in
I’ll be the pavement You’ll be the foot off the ground I’ll be the basement You’ll be the kids moving out Running around like our parents did I know it’s hard in a place like this…
You could fix that smile with some salt in your hair New clothes and friends with some money to spare We could go tonight If that’s what you want
And when we run out of patience we’ll go somewhere new Find a town somewhere we can’t pronounce the food Watch the fading lights From the restaurant
I spend all of my time Staring at ceilings Watching em peeling Never wondering why I feel so defeated Whether I need this
I’ll be the driver You’ll be the getaway car I’ll be the lighter You’ll be the burns on my arm I know it’s hard in a place like this Growing up somewhere that can’t fit ya in
I’ll be the pavement You’ll be the foot off the ground I’ll be the basement You’ll be the kids moving out Running around like our parents did I know it’s hard in a place like this…
You should quit that job that you never liked Tell your friends you’re tired of going out every night Come and meet me at dark Don’t tell anyone
