Hey, I got a thought
Let's get up and go
We'll leave this little college town.
Hey, I got a plan
Let's get up and drive
We'll drive until the sun goes down.
Hey, I got a thought
Let's get up and leave
We'll leave everyone we know behind.
Hey, I got a thought
Let's get up and drive.
We'll drive to where we can't be found.
Hey, hey, I got a thought
Hey, hey, I got a thought
Hey, I got a thought
Let's get up and go
We'll leave this little college town
Hey, I got a plan
Let's get up and drive
We'll drive until the sun goes down
Hey, I got a plan
Let's get up and go
Well go to where we can't be found
Hey, I got a plan
Let's get up and leave
We'll leave forever
Hey, hey, I got a thought
Hey, hey, will you come with me?

Maybe we should let go
Let it all happen now
'Cause this thought's been running,
And it's running up and up and down.
I swear that it rained the whole way there.
I swear that it rained the whole way there.
Maybe we should give in
Let it all happen again
'Cause this thought's been really getting in my head.
And I know we have the time to get away.
I know we have the reasons to escape.
And still you hold on to the memory you loved,
And still we grasp the imagery left behind.
I swear that it rained the whole way there.
I swear that it rained the whole way there.
I swear that it rained the whole way there (the whole way).
I swear that it rained the whole way there.
Maybe we should give in
Let it all happen now
'Cause really all I miss is the sound, sound of your voice.
And I know we have the time to get away.
I know we have the reasons to escape.
And still you hold on to the memory you loved,
And still we grasp the imagery left behind.
I swear that it rained the whole way there.
I swear that it rained the whole way there.
I swear that it rained the whole way there (the whole way).
I swear that it rained the whole way there.

Transcience
02:54

How about another meaningless phrase,
like: "everyday is just another turning point,
so why not follow me home?"
So why not follow me home?
We'll be here, anyway.
At least, so it seems.
You know I don't care about us.
We're just some transient beings
in some old place and some new days will come.
But nothing will change;
We'll still grow old.
I don't care about them.
I guess it's just the way I am.
And you said, "we should all be more like me."
You said "we should all be more like me".
What confidence springs from your soul?
What arrogance follows me home?
You know I don't care about us.
We're just some transient beings,
in some old place and some new days will come,
but nothing will change.
We'll still grow old.
And even after everything,
Even after everything,
Even after all the days,
We'll still grow old.

Latenights (The Case)
03:12

Two silly girls, a difference, a place to go, but nowhere we want to:
Isn't that always the case?
A cause, a reason, and a doubt, and the probability of dying tonight:
are all that's on my mind.
Though I never was much for late nights
I never saw what you were pointing toward
By the shoreline
Driving along
And you thought
i was everything you wanted.
But now you found it somewhere else
You found it in someone new
And you're giving up on me now.
You're losing all hope
With the thought that you might
Realize that you never could have
anything
Try all you want: you'll never satisfy romantic desires with dispassionate fools
And ladies, far off in your heart
Maybe it's time to start something else
We'll run through every cliche saying 'tili it gets old
Smile on your face
The distinction between
What we've been and what we're going to
Every little subtlety
Though I never was much for latenights
I never saw what you were pointing toward
on the shoreline, driving along
Though I never was much for late nights
I think it's time to try to
Learn what you've been loving along
Music, and madness, and silliness
And maybe I don't know what I'm talking about
Isn't this always the case?
Isn't this always what we are trying to step away from?
Isn't this always the case?
Though I never was much for late nights...

A Little Tragedy
03:26
|

I believe that we need a little tragedy,
Now and then
To fill up the empty space
That we're hanging in.
I assume that we need a little something else
Here and there
To fill up the stagnant air
Around our heads.
And you know that it might be something simple
Complications are clouding the profundities
About me
Wherever you want to reside,
It's fine in my mind,
Whatever you want to be.
My pulse is slow
As we escape into the fall (the fall)
Let it all captivate you
Spectacularly
I discern that we need a little sympathy
Between the lines
I assume that we need a little something else
Here and there
to fill up the stagnant air
That we're hanging in
That we're hanging in
That we're hanging in
And you know that it might be something simple:
Complications are clouding the profundities
About me
Wherever you want to reside
It's fine in my mind,
Whatever you want to be.
My pulse is slow
As we escape into the fall
Let it all captivate you
Spectacularly
