well the east coast died last night.
you were wrapped in a blanket by my side.
the sunset never came home.
well neither did we,
reasons are useless so we just drove.
the stars don't shine as bright in the city
and they don't shine at all if you close your eyes
so leave them open,
leave them willing to see
even if you don't believe.
these verses are meaningless
since i don't know sign language
you sure as hell can't hear them
if you never listen
so this can be another for my bedroom walls
'cause i know they don't mind.
well we gave up the street signs
for dirt roads and high fives
virginia lost her nerve,
so we left her on the side
of a road in east new york
so she could think about what she'd done.
well we would pick her back up
but were never going home again
o that place just doesn't make me smile anymore
and it sure doesn't ever pick me up
when i'm about to die.
well the east coast died last night
othing but
arizona and tomorrow on my mind
the sunset never came home
so we did as we pleased,
it won't hurt 'em if they don't know.
don't trust anyone.
o not no one.
they lie to save their life
and would rather be on top
this is everyday.
yeah we're all free.
but sometimes that doesn't mean a thing.
so if you're lover
is a liar
tell them no more,
set yourself free.
and if your daylight
has gone elsewhere.
tell it to come back,
'cause this is your life
and you're gonna do as you please. yeah starting tomorrow.
the sun will be back.
and then you can finally breathe
so take these kind words
use them to dry those tears
'cause kid you're not a waste
you're a dreamer
so if you're lover
is a liar
tell them no more,
set yourself free.
and if your daylight
has gone elsewhere
tell it to come back,
'cause this is your life.
and you're gonna do as you please.
yeah starting tomorrow
the sun will be back
i can promise you that love,
yeah i can.
and then you can finally breathe again.
