Streets

[Verse 1]
She convinces me to take the drive
So I hop on 55 and ride to the coast
To bury another ghost in the sand
Or let it drift away in the waves
Or carry me away from here
Sometimes I want to disappear

[Verse 2]
I’m only here for the day
I had to get away
Then she lays down next to me
And she says, “Hey, why don’t you stay the night?”
Implying we don’t have to fight
About where we’ve been or what we’d done before
Because it doesn’t matter anymore
Society’s got us twisted
But we don’t have to listen to what they say
Or what they expect from us
I think we must
We’re no strangers to lust

[Verse 3]
And if we break at the first sign of pressure
Then maybe lesser people deserve to be where we are
And to feel how we feel
So tell me is this real enough for you?
Don’t tell me if this isn’t real because I don’t want to know the truth
About you, about this town
About all the love we fake or the rules we break
Because I won’t feel the same when I wake
And her legs are shaking while my heart is racing
And then she’s telling me to slow it down
Well slow it down, we’ll slow it down
Then pick it right back up

[Outro]
We realize that it’s close to 5:00
We’ll finally close our eyes and sleep the day away
Then I’ll try to forget your face on my way home
