They filed out of the classroom
Down the hallway
Past the fountain, when she cried
Hey! What's your name
He said, hey let's ride out
In my old man's car
We'll park up on the hill
And watch the sun melt away
Looking out on nowhere
As electric light
Embraced their little town
He wondered, is there a better place for me
Everybody knows there isn't
Everybody knows the score
The colors in the sky
On a childhood summer night
Are nothing next to her
Looking out on nowhere
As electric light
Embraced their little hearts
He wondered, is there a chance they'd grow apart
Everybody knows there isn't
Everybody knows the score
Days slip away
And seasons fold
From where she sits
The sky is gold
