Let's drive underneath the night sky When midnight's passed and we can move fast All while the world sleeps underneath the moonlight And no one slows us, so it's alright Windows down and the music blasting, mile markers everlasting We can really make this the perfect drive Not a sign of life around, we're cruising 90 through each town This will be the adventure of our lives Let's stay only in the left lane And ride this road 'til we see blue waves And day rising again, we can always pretend That we'll take this road to the world's end Windows down and the music blasting, mile markers everlasting We can really make this the perfect drive Not a sign of life around, we're cruising 90 through each town This will be the adventure of our lives The headlights shining will be enough To guide our journey 'til the sun comes up Wherever we're going, whenever we go We're still driving fast to feel the warm wind blow Whenever we get there, I'm sure we'll know Windows down and the music blasting, mile markers everlasting We can really make this the perfect drive Not a sign of life around, we're cruising 90 through each town This will be the adventure of our lives

It's been quite a while since I have been this nervous If you're thinking what I am, I hope that our same page is honest We come here often, but it feels like we've just met And I can tell by the look in your eyes we haven't even started yet I would never want to see the day Where I missed the chance to take your breath away I never thought I'd see you in here, in such a whole new light And then I heard you call my name Your hand then clung to mine You whispered in my ear, you said we could go anywhere tonight Don't know anyone in here but I don't mind staying long I feel like Clapton talking about his wife in that beautiful 80's song She's got those eyes and smile, endearing, even shy And she's quite the catch so you make sure you hold on tight I would never want to see the day Where I missed the chance to take your breath away I never thought I'd see you in here, in such a whole new light And then I heard you call my name Your hand then clung to mine You whispered in my ear, you said we could go anywhere tonight I would never want to see the day Where I missed the chance to take your breath away I never thought I'd see you in here, in such a whole new light And then I heard you call my name Your hand then clung to mine You whispered in my ear, you said we could go anywhere tonight

If you could take it all back and live in the past Would you find yourself starting over? Take back all of those regrets and simply forget The times you spent screaming in my face Now I don't ever want to hear: "Hey listen up dear" "I think we've made a huge mistake" We argue more and more each year, so no more tears It's time we took more than a break And now that time has come and gone, would you still be going strong? It hurts thinking what could've happened Been awake for several weeks, little sense in counting sheep When we parted something parted inside of me Now I don't ever want to hear: "Hey listen up dear" "I think we've made a huge mistake" We argue more and more each year, so no more tears It's time we took more than a break Now I don't ever want to hear: "Hey listen up dear" "I think we've made a huge mistake" We argue more and more each year, so no more tears It's time we took more than a break

Candle Smoke 03:46
We're here, the distance widens Our candle smoke, it fills this silence And suddenly we're sitting in darkness The light we had, it doesn't shine The smoke means we've come to an end And now's the end of our time And last year, everything was right With no doubts, fights, and no tears The flame we had burned bright And I know that it was worth the fight To try and be your hero, but it's not so easy Without our light Your words, they hit like water We learn that fire can't burn forever And now you're giving me nothing to work with When I've been giving you all I could But how to keep from growing apart We never understood And last year, everything was right With no doubts, fights, and no tears The flame we had burned bright And I know that it was worth the fight To try and be your hero, but it's not so easy Without our... Light to shine, in your heart and mine It was glowing all the time to spark our love Oh, love in time had our hearts intertwined But how much we tried; it wasn't enough Last year, everything was right With no doubts, fights, and no tears The flame we had burned bright And I know that it was worth the fight To try and be your hero, but it's not so easy Without our light

Flight Deck 04:20
Start your engines, light the fuse We're going on a journey, you can choose How we get there, way high in the air Flying past the clouds at a super sonic speed Mind is drifting, flight goes on The plane is crashing, but nothing's wrong Path is chosen, keeping it going Hold on for too long, you may just regret it I'm chilling, not stressing, got the energy of a jet plane And you and me can beat the clouds and go higher and higher The back breeze collecting, it'll hold us up from gravity And all I feel's my smile growing wider, and wider Check the aisle, watch your step Grab my luggage and look left I see a smile, first in a while Giving me a look like a mirror made for two Grab a pillow, headphones on Dinner is served, but now it's gone Plane is shaking, it's no mistaking Looking all around and we're nowhere near the ground I'm chilling, not stressing, got the energy of a jet plane And you and me can beat the clouds and go higher and higher The back breeze collecting, it'll hold us up from gravity And all I feel's my smile growing wider, and wider Been floating in the clouds for days My mind is stuck in endless haze The pilot says we'll be delayed He navigates this empty maze Lost my mind, it's deep in space Without it drifting anyplace When we land we'll be alright It was the perfect flight I'm chilling, not stressing, got the energy of a jet plane And you and me can beat the clouds and go higher and higher The back breeze collecting, it'll hold us up from gravity And all I feel's my smile growing wider, and wider

18th Street 03:00
We'll hop from house to house tonight 'cause everybody's welcome The sun goes down, the lights go out and cups fill slowly We'll want the family over so we'll make sure that we tell them Here's to the weekend It's Saturday for everyone in town There's kids with bottles in the street and jumping all around We party every week and don't think I need to sleep tonight I'm 8 beers deep and time is slowing down Slip in through the back just as my roommates hit redemption Shot for shot I'm blacking out, the girls look lovely Speakers blaring Fetty, Guetta, Cole, and "Celebration" Grab your cups and chug It's Saturday for everyone in town There's kids with bottles in the street and jumping all around We party every week and don't think I need to sleep tonight I'm 10 beers deep and time is slowing down It's Saturday for everyone in town There's kids with bottles in the street and jumping all around We party every week and don't think I need to sleep tonight I'm 12 beers deep and time is slowing down 15 deep, the party's shutting down

Tofu 03:17
Only got one shot, better get it down Put on your shoes, take a trip around To the corner, no need to hesitate I'm in a hurry, no I cannot wait Don't have the time for you, no I cannot lie Got to set things straight, and don't question why It came as no surprise, you're wasted in my eyes now The one that shouldn't be themselves Fooled by your disguise, and fell for your lies now Take out your shame on someone else Only got one shot, better get it down Put on your shoes and take a trip around To the crossroads, listen to me straight What is great is gone, and what is gone is great Wasting my time on this, no I cannot lie Kept coming over when I should've said goodbye It came as no surprise, you're wasted in my eyes now The one that shouldn't be themselves Fooled by your disguise, and fell for your lies now Take out your shame on someone else It came as no surprise, you're wasted in my eyes now The one that shouldn't be themselves Fooled by your disguise, and fell for your lies now Take out your shame on someone else

You told my friend that I looked good as hell that night While I was pacing around the room to straighten out my mind And I had planned to look as good as I could get But to hear it come from you, puts you right inside my head You drive me fucking crazy And I can't be like Mr. Brightside When you don't see what I see And what we had was only for the night Dancing in the cellars, playing with our lives We're just two uneven pieces, in the right place and the wrong time Dancing in the cellars, I told you I was fine And that the sweep deep glow of the look in your eyes Was all I need to see tonight If you just give me once chance to explain my mind I'd like to know is this for show, or is it a good time? The way we move both hand in hand is a component But any sort of thing we had was only for the moment I can't follow directions Pretended to be Mr. Brightside We differ in perception Significant of times have passed us by Dancing in the cellars, playing with our lives We're just two uneven pieces, in the right place and the wrong time Dancing in the cellars, I told you I was fine And that the sweep deep glow of the look in your eyes Was all I need to see tonight And I'll go right ahead and say I wrote this song about you I doubt you'll ever hear it, which is good and bad, but true And if you ever hear it, then just know we'll still stay friends But I always felt something there And I was just too damn scared...

Do you remember the night we tried to get away? As the sun began to fade, and time was almost out Slipping through the crowds, we ran, we couldn't wait And took a dizzying leap of faith across the streets of town And here I am, lost in my mind And here we are, all running out of time This one night, first of its kind I'm watching all those streetlights shine Everywhere, the city's shining And the busy atmosphere makes for a good night Looks we get, I do not mind them 'Cause I just want to focus my attention on these city lights Do you remember the nights we traveled all around? To the hottest spots in town, to walk among the crowds We would laugh, get rounds of drinks, and put 'em down And hear the music blasting loud, to give the night sweet sound And here I am, lost in my mind I'm watching all those streetlights shine Everywhere, the city's shining And the busy atmosphere makes for a good night Looks we get, I do not mind them 'Cause I just want to focus my attention on these city lights I'm in love with all these London lights That make the night time glow And I'll miss these sights when I wake up tomorrow I'm in love with all these London lights That make the night time glow And I'll miss these sights when I wake up tomorrow Everywhere, the city's shining And the busy atmosphere makes for a good night Looks we get, I do not mind them 'Cause I just want to focus my attention on these city lights
