[Intro]

Hey, I'm just calling

[Verse 1]

You should quit that job that you never liked

Tell your friends you’re tired of going out every night

Come and meet me at dark

Don't tell anyone

And we could keep on driving 'til we found somewhere

With so many new faces and [?] in the air

Wouldn’t have to go far to find what we want

[Pre-Chorus]

And I spend all of my time

Staring at ceilings, watching them peeling

Never wondering why

I feel so defeated

Whether I need this

[Chorus]

I'll be the driver

You'll be the getaway car

I'll be the lighter

You'll be the birds on my arm

I know it's hard in a place like this

Growing up somewhere that can't fit you it in

I'll be the pavement

You’ll be the foot off the ground

I’ll be the basement

You'll be the kids moving out

Running ’round like our parents did

I know it's hard in a place like this

[Post-Chorus]

I know it's hard in a place like this

I know it's hard

I know it’s hard

[Verse 2]

You could fix that smile with some sun in your hair

New clothes and new friends with some money to spare

And we could go tonight

If that's what you want

And when we run out of patience we'll go somewhere new

Find a town somewhere we can't pronounce the food

Watch the fading lights from the restaurant

[Pre-Chorus]

And I spend all of my time

Staring at ceilings, watching them peeling

Never wondering why

I feel so defeated

Whether I need this

[Chorus]

I'll be the driver

You'll be the getaway car

I'll be the lighter

You'll be the birds on my arm

I know it's hard in a place like this

Growing up somewhere that can't fit you it in

I'll be the pavement

You'll be the foot off the ground

I'll be the basement

You'll be the kids moving out

Running 'round like our parents did

I know it's hard in a place like this

[Bridge]

I know it's hard in a place like this

I know it's hard

I know it's hard

I know it's hard in a place like this

I know it's hard

I know it's hard

[Outro]

You should quit that job that you never liked

Tell your friends you're tired of going out every night

Come and meet me at dark

Don't tell anyone
