lyrics

I fell in love with a feeling of connection when I was young
We had hearts on fire, and voices like pyres in the dark
And I found out... I'll never feel at home while I've got this aching in my bones
My eyes are dying for something new to see
My body's getting tired of being me
You'll never be in love like you were
The first time you heard the first lines of your favorite song
And I've never been in love like I was
On those late nights and long drives that we spent growing up
On the run...
I'm just a kid who spends too much time
Dreaming of a different kind of life
On the road, as years go by it's all I really know
Because nothings how I want it, but I don't know what I want
I know sometimes I seem defeated, but I swear to god I'm not
Well maybe I can't make you understand the way I feel
But we'll give this another shot, this is all Ive got
You'll never be in love like you were
The first time you heard the first lines of your favorite song
And I've never been in love like I was
On those late nights and long drives that we spent growing up
On the run...
There's music in my chest and its moving up my neck
It's clawing its way through my throat
Oh and when it hits my mouth i'm scared
That things that come out will
Shake the whole world, till I am left here alone
You'll never be in love like you were
The first time you heard the first lines of your favorite song
And I've never been in love like I was
On those late nights and long drives that we spent growing up
On the run...

While I understand the change of direction completely. I do wish we got one more show where this album was played in full, as there are a lot of bangers slept on here. bdogz

Perfectly encapsulates the teenage experience. Finding this album while still young and in high school was the best decision I've made in quite awhile. charlesjr
