[Verse 1]

Kissing in your idle car

The cheap seats don’t recline as far

But at least the stereo is good for something

Seasons changing, getting cold

The night is young but it’s getting old

Your friends regurgitate the same damn stories

How did they get so boring

[Chorus]

Slowly blinking city lights

I just wanna feel alive

[Verse 2]

Isolated summer time

You cut your hair to free your

Minding my own business but I wanna say something

Weekend wars, we played pretend

To complicate the days but

Then this new simplicity got so exciting

But now I never get invited

[Chorus]

Slowly blinking city lights

I just wanna feel alive

I didn't mean to make you cry

I just wanna feel alive

[Verse 3]

Lying on the kitchen floor

I hear you through the bathroom door

It isn’t dampening your secret sobbing

Crooked smiles for twisted jokes

Just hiding in my mind and

Hoping for a moment to escape the madness

Where there’s a lot less happening
