Lyrics
A stones throw from a different life
We were young when we said goodbye
As it skipped across the surface
I held my breath and I watched it
Fade with the waves of that summertime blue
Foolish hearts in the heat of the night
There was nowhere to hide in this quiet town
Where the streets run wild and the dreams don't look like they used to
Of all the stories we held onto with both hands
We couldn't see who we'd become
(Turn the lights on)
If I wait for the ground to break
Who's gonna tell me before I go that it's never too late
Without a rope to walk the line
Before I open up my eyes
And see the comforts of my youth so far away
There's life beyond the ferris wheels
Classic cars, picture perfect imagery
I'm a cheap shot imitation of what I lost in trying symmetry
But I still had that teenage romance
Drove for miles with the radio on
Can't say I ever knew Maria
But I still sing the same old songs
If I wait for the ground to break
Who's gonna tell me before I go that it's never too late
Without a rope to walk the line
Before I open up my eyes
And see the comforts of my youth so far away
Look up just enough to see the sunrise
I don't care too much for the long drives
All the doubts and all the strain
Ain't gonna put us back together again
We've got some way to go
It's not the devil you know
While the dreamers take their chances
All the rest are just trying to follow
If I wait for the ground to break
Who's gonna tell me before I go that it's never too late
Without a rope to walk the line
Before I open up my eyes
And see the comforts of my youth so far away
