[Verse 1]

All those wasted hours we used to know

Spent the summer staring out the window

The wind, it takes you where it wants to go

First, they built the road, then they built the town

(La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la)

That’s why we’re still driving around and around

And all we see

Are kids in the buses, longing to be free

[Chorus]

Wasted hours before we knew

Where to go and what to do

Wasted hours that you make new

And turn into

A life that we can live

[Verse 2]

Some cities make you lose your head

(La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la)

Endless suburbs stretched out thin and dead

What was that line you said?

Wishing you were anywhere but here

(La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la)

You watch the life you’re living disappear

And now I see

We’re still kids in the buses, longing to be free

[Chorus]

Wasted hours before we knew

Where to go and what to do

Wasted hours that you make new

And turn into

A life that we can live

A life that we can live
