lyrics

The interstate was colder than the worst morning mist
But you had to escape that first hand you kissed
And I was just a poet who could never sing sweet
For that one true love i had yet to meet

But I played my guitar raw with sunburned skin
And I swear I never knew the shape your hands were in
The local drink, you know it still drives me to tears
But I’ll sing hallelujah like I lived a hundred years

We were never young
In this west-metro ghost town
Where the tracks were never quite laid end to end
The rotors turn, alive
And now the children, they can drive
Drive on through the night
They’ll drive on through the night

Romeos and liars all know how to break a heart
For the ballerinas dancing up and down the boulevarde
A little yellow flower follows ashes to the ground
And like the poems never read, I watch her burn without a sound

Because the fathers I’ve forgotten, they can’t teach me how to fight
So I’ll drive up from the valley to see the city lights
And the local drink, you know, it gets me through the days
When the balcony it beckons and I just choose to fade

We were never young
In this west-metro ghost town
Where the tracks were never quite laid end to end
The rotors turn, alive
And now the children, they can drive
Drive on through the night
They’ll drive on through the night

Twirling right around inside this box they call the night
You’ll find a supernova named for breaking black and white
And you’ll forget the outcasts, the omens and the actions
But promise me, promise you’ll remember all the madness
When we cried

We were never young
In this west-metro ghost town
Where the tracks were never quite laid end to end
The rotors turn, alive
And now the children, they can drive
Drive on through the night
They’ll drive on through the night
