At 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 heads on far off highways
Sixteen years old on a road that never ends
Might drive into something that looks like a sunset
And it lasts forever, and I never look back

From Hoboken to LA
From Portland, to Gainesville
From the Great Planes to Niagara 
Route 66 straight to California
Electric lights carry the night, we move in 4-4 time
Our feet on wheels and in the sky
We’re going cause we’d die if we stayed here

Those dying dreams will carry what’s good, and real and pure
And the rest can burn in Hell.

And for the four year old girl found dead in a dumpster
Shot by her mother, her eulogy’s the sound 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 up, every mistake
Is now our own infinite failure

So we’ll steal every chance we get
Every advantage is taken when no one’s looking
Well hidden behind closed doors, and we won’t stop
Until we are the people we’ve decided we should be
I wanna be a shot heard around the world, fucking unstoppable
This distance is not something we’ll regret
Between here and now, and then and forever
And days after that til the very end

From Hoboken to LA
From Portland, to Gainesville
From the Great Planes to Niagara 
Route 66 straight to California
Electric lights carry the night, we move in 4-4 time
Our feet on wheels and in the sky
We’re going cause we’d die if we stayed here

Those dying dreams will carry what’s good, and real and pure
And the rest can burn in Hell.
The rest can burn in Hell.
