Sneak cigarettes in bathroom stalls
We thought we'd done it all
And to think we spent our time
Watching days turn into nights
The sun didn't shine on us
Your eyes looked silver in moonlight
You were West Coast crazy
And I found love in Chicago
That's the difference, you and me
We were so different
Such a backwards story
All pain, no glory
Let's talk about
All the times we hid in the basement
When I'd show up you'd fall down wasted
I'd like to say that I gained some patience
But I tense up when I think of driving cars
Down the Capitol alley
One wrong turn and we'd burn down at the speed of sound
Days would come, and days would pass
I prayed we'd make them last
With ample opportunity
I swear I won the lottery
But I tend to gamble
Loves in shambles
You saw through my poker face
And now my love I have to go
I've found peace in another home
I can't keep stealing lines for you
God knows it's a crime to do
You'd say you'd like to see the sunset
But now I'm chasing down the sun
Let's talk about
All the times we hid in the basement
When I'd show up you'd fall down wasted
I'd like to say that I gained some patience
But I tense up when I think of driving cars
Down the Capitol alley
One wrong turn and we'd burn down at the speed of sound
