They’re closing the bar down Boarding up for the night But we ain’t done making the feeling right So what do we do? We could hide til they look but don’t find nobody Then lock up so we can throw our own little party

Cuz from the first word you said to me I couldn’t be a stranger for long So if you’re down I’m down to go & keep it low key Small talk til they ask where’ve we gone

Under burnt out neon lights We keep on finding ourselves in the dark I’m hoping they lose the key can’t find it So we get more time in starting cigarette sparks

I don’t care if they leave us here all night long Who knows when they’re coming back again Long as we’re still talking over a jukebox song Then I’m ok with staying locked in

Revived mind inside dead skin A contradiction yet again I don’t need a leap of faith Just better than what it has been

A falling heart can awake a beast Just when I expect it the least Bursting wide open not caring about breaks Rising from its sleep

Finally breathing without any restraint If held any longer I was destined to faint But life you gave me, saving the day For all this time I wanted to be awake

The turnstiles turned into one of those days That I knew I couldn’t beat Having no chance of getting blown away Being latched down in my seat When up walks a girl with a twang in her hey Saying “I think this one’s for me” She sat down then the PA sounded off Counting down from three

Before the attendant got to go I was already counting clovers Hoping a turn will help us both And get her inching closer Hanging onto every word she’d throw Man life flew by on that coaster But wheels stop, you let go
Then suddenly… it’s over
