lyrics

If our parents knew where we really drove
Through the neighborhoods and at twenty over
But no they’ll never know

If our parents knew that we danced and sang
Standing out moon-roofs in the city lanes
But no they’ll never know

It’s hard to tell which rules
Are there to help us out
They seem to knock us down so far
But

I feel I’ve lived here so long
In a place I don’t belong
But I could belong here with you
Pushing all the harmless laws
In some war that’ll never resolve
Alight in our dying youth

Guess our parents used to just slowly drive
Through the neighborhoods at twenty five
But no I’ll never know

Guess our parents used to sit still and ride
In a silent car, just passing by
But no we’ll never know

It’s hard to tell which rules
Were there to help them out
They may have followed every step
But

If they lived there so long
Somewhere they did not belong
Could they sleep the whole thing through
Or did they push the harmless laws
In some war that’ll never resolve
Alight in their dying youth

Should we just scrap all the plans and
Wipe X’s off of our hands and
Forget we ever tried to be cool

And when we grow up and the culture’s
Left us in dust will we really
Stand up so proud in some spotless suit

I am so in love with riding on a highway going 90 in a
hurricane of laughter in a flood of drums and lightening
spinning faster even faster in a dream of girls and glory trying
so hard just to live until our days become a story that is
beautiful and painful with a soundtrack that is sacred that is
elegant and terrible with rides into the sunset where we’re
speeding and we’re drowning in the danger that we no longer can
see
But

I feel I’ve lived here so long
In a place I don’t belong
But I could belong here with you
Pushing all the harmless laws
In some war that’ll never resolve
Alight in our dying youth
