lyrics

You put a Chevrolet onto a highway
Lit with love and never looked back
Cylinders pound as hard as your heart
As the sky dropped a curtain of black
And when the romantic hopes and the inside jokes
All turned to lofi break up songs
You tried to hold your head high and pretend you were right
When everything was clearly going wrong
You were fueled on despair dying more than your jet black hair
North bound with the pedal down
Diving into trouble in a dried up town
Good times gone and darkness coming around
Goodbye East Bay bloodlines, hello Northwest nights
You never felt so lost and lonesome
Run over by the rolling dice
You wanted so back to know real love
And to understand what it could mean
That you threw yourself head over heels
Onto the gears of it’s machine
And when mercy finally hit a kill switch
There was not much left to save
Just a couple of damaged kids that managed
To somehow turn out okay
You were fueled on despair dying more than your jet black hair
West bound with the pedal down
Diving into trouble in a dried up town
Good times gone and darkness coming around
Goodbye Steel City skylines, hello Northwest nights
You never felt so lost and lonesome
Run over by the rolling dice
Seven years down turned eleven years now
Your dreams of love never died
You packed up the crown of the bad end of town
And soberly swallowed your pride
Awoke to the sound of an old friend you found
A voice you let troubled times hide
And with no one around you dug your heart from the ground
And you were open to the ride
Goodbye lonely nights under grey skylines
No more living like you’re just waiting to die
You were feeling broken
So long you don’t remember
The last time you laid your love out on the line
Goodbye lonely nights under grey skylines
Hello love of your life
