// i think you’ve had enough tonight / two weeks ago we were in the exact same place / with fuzzy ears and blurry eyes we hear the voices, feel the bass / we’re always lost in another time / we never planned for this to get so rough / two thousand-ten years to get it right / to save our souls is god enough / it sure beats working the grind / i want a piece of the real life / i want a shot at the big lights / it’s either that or be paralyzed / we still charge into the night, the only place that feels right / to stay away from the sunshine, where all our best ideas die / we stick around ‘til they’re closing down / we walk and talk, wasted, out of sight / you’ve got a house across town / i make a move in the bright white moonlight / tandem emotional bombsights / it’s live and learn and love and die / but I’m a renegade tonight / open the doors and let ‘em fly / it sure beats working the grind / i want a piece of the real life / i want a shot at the big lights / it’s either that or be paralyzed / we still charge into the night, the only place that feels right / to stay away from the sunshine, where all our best ideas die //
