Garage Lights

Verse

Amp still humming in the cold garage

Chalk dust and gasoline, a busted mirage

Your sister's bike against the wall

Three chords deep and we're ready to fall

Twelve past midnight, engine won't quit

Duct tape holding the whole dash lit

You said we're wasting good gasoline

Standing still with a getaway dream

Chorus

Garage lights flicker, door rolls up slow

We're a hundred miles from anyone we know

Tires spinning gravel, dust on the glass

This town's a photograph fading fast

Garage lights swinging on a rusted chain

We're not the kind of kids that sit and wait

Garage lights, garage lights, watch us go

Verse

Cardboard boxes we never unpacked

Guitar cases stacked where the memories act

Neon sign buzzing two blocks down

Says everything's closing all over town

You're counting tip jars, I'm counting stars

Loading the amps into the back of the car

Mama's porch light shrinking in the mirror

The road ahead's getting realer, clearer

Chorus

Garage lights flicker, door rolls up slow

We're a hundred miles from anyone we know

Tires spinning gravel, dust on the glass

This town's a photograph fading fast

Garage lights swinging on a rusted chain

We're not the kind of kids that sit and wait

Garage lights, garage lights, watch us go

Bridge

Maybe we're crazy, maybe we're right

Trading the driveway for the wide open night

No map, no plan, just a tank half full

And a feeling too big for this town to hold

I'm done asking if we'll make it far

I just want the wind through a busted car

Final Chorus

Garage lights flicker, door rolls up slow

We're a hundred miles from anyone we know

Tires spinning gravel, dust on the glass

This town's a photograph fading fast

Garage lights swinging on a rusted chain

We're not the kind of kids that sit and wait

Garage lights flicker, door rolls up slow

Scream it till the whole block knows

Garage lights, garage lights, watch us go
