Catch Your Breath

[Intro]
Dum, dum, dum
Dum, dum, duh-oh
Dum, dum, dum
Dum, dum, duh-oh
Dum, dum, dum
Dum, dum

[Verse 1]
Catch your breath, we're leaving now
We're gonna run out of this cardboard town
We'll leave behind the shelter of the suburbs
I've got plans

The highway whispers through the woods
It carries freedom from this neighborhood
We'll hitch a ride
Before our parents wake up we'll be gone

[Chorus]
The morning's so cold
It's warm in every household
Where friends sleep for school but we're not dreaming
Oh, why are vou shakin'?

[Post-Chorus]
Dum, dum, dum
Dum, dum, duh-oh
Dum, dum, dum
Dum, duh-oh

[Verse 2]
I promise you
I mailed this man a down payment on a cold water flat
It's not so clean
It's where we'll sleep together
Please have patience

Commuter cars are crawling by
It's getting late, I hope we catch a ride
You're fidgety
Your eyes are slightly swollen
Please don't cry

[Chorus]
A station wagon red brake lights are flashing
The car's familiar
Oh, it's my father
Oh, please don't give up
Oh, please don't give up

[Outro]
Dum, dum, dum
Dum, dum, duh-oh
Dum, dum, dum
Dum, dum, duh-oh
Dum, dum, dum
Dum, dum, duh-oh
Ooh, Ooh
