[Verse 1]

Another day

Another breath trying to separate

The past from where I stay

Looking back, let it fade

Let it burn red into gray

Look alive, not afraid

Catch a ride back to you


[Pre-Chorus]

Not a reason to fear or to wait

In a picture-perfect world I wouldn't hesitate


[Chorus]

Sideways figure eights

Dance in my headlights

You find ways to get away

Hide till your head's right

Forgive me for my history, oh

Open your heart wide

And every day will feel like tonight


[Verse 2]

I built a wall

Sky high I hope it holds

And when it falls

I'm stuck beneath it all

Looking back, I hate to say

It took a while to feel this way

Look alive, not afraid

Catch a ride back to you


[Pre-Chorus]

Not a reason to fear or to wait

In a picture-perfect world I wouldn't hesitate


[Chorus]

Sideways figure eights

Dance in my headlights

You find ways to get away

Hide till your head's right

Forgive me for my history, oh

Open your heart wide

And every day will feel like tonight


[Bridge]

T-t-tell me, can you relate?

I keep my past on replay, replay

T-t-tell me, can you relate?

I keep my past on replay

It's cheaper than a movie, oh, oh

It's cheaper than a movie, oh, oh

It's cheaper than a red hot date

I take it day by day

Keep it moving


[Breakdown]

Not a reason to fear or to wait

In a picture-perfect world I wouldn't hesitate


[Chorus]

Sideways figure eights

Dance in my headlights

You find ways to get away

Hide till your head's right

Forgive me for my history, oh

Open your heart wide

And every day will feel like tonight


[Post-Chorus]

Keep it moving

Every day will feel like

Keep it moving

Every day will feel like

Keep it moving

Every day will feel like tonight
