'Cause we've been driving so long
I can't remember how we got here
Or how we survived so long
I'm trying to run from our pride
'Til you set fire to my atmosphere
And I remember how I spent the 23rd
When I'm 30,000 feet in the air
So far East, I'm Westbound
Feeling like the edge of this world is near
But you'll feel better when you
Swear to God I'll make up
This is more than just a phase, love
Shooting stars all break up
Things will be better in America
Heard the streets are gold there
Maybe I can fly you out of this place someday
Chasing dreams like I'm on Novocaine
Screaming through your airways
I almost thought I heard you say
Stay, you're not gonna leave me
This place is right where you need to be
And why your words gotta mean
And they mean nothing to me?
So stay, you're not what you're hearing
'Cause I've been watching you changing
And who said you're you're one in a million
'Cause you see only what you want to
Your tunnel vision haunts you
And you can't see what's wrong
And you keep sleeping through the p.m.
Eyes wide open when you're dreaming
You're sleepwalking, just keep talking
And maybe you can talk your way
Just tell me what you're thinking
I'm scared that you might fall
And you'll feel better when you
Sun always seems to wash our fears away
And it's always shining somewhere
Things are better in America
Heard the streets are gold there
Maybe I can fly you out of this place someday
Chasing dreams like I'm on Novocaine
Screaming through your airways
I almost thought I heard you say
Stay, you're not gonna leave me
This place is right where you need to be
And why your words gotta mean
And they mean nothing to me?
So stay, you're not what you're hearing
'Cause I've been watching you changing
And who said you're one in a million
You're so much better than that
And you'll feel better when you wake up
Swear to God I'll make up
Everything or more when I get back someday
Chasing dreams like I'm on Novocaine
Screaming through your airways
I almost thought I heard you say:
"You're so much better than that"
