Long empty days
Long empty roads
What now?
Heaven knows
I'd have been your wistful love if that's how you wanted me
But we had something better than a makeshift"meant to be"
Slick rain slides through cobblestones
History soaking through my clothes
And slipping down the drain
We were a live wire, you and me
Lawless, lovesick, sweetest pain
We lit off fireworks in the street
While the polo kids drank champagne
Now I wait around for the sun to fall
Over the fairgrounds
Yeah, it's a lonely ghost town
Ride to the past
Car park carnival
Everything's moving too fast
Ain't fair, ain't no control
And if I reach out now am I just set up to lose?
And if you don't call back, then whatcha trying to prove?
Slick rain slides through cobblestones
History soaking through my clothes
And slipping down the drain
We were a live wire, you and me
Lawless, lovesick, sweetest pain
We lit off fireworks in the street
While the polo kids drank champagne
Now I wait around for the sun to fall
Over the fairgrounds
Yeah, it's a lonely ghost town
Falling into small town infamy
Took our pain and played a symphony
Frozen in a film strip history
Fold it up and take it with me
Rumbling tires, telephone wires
Passing through your worn-down diner
See your eyes in high beams while you carry on
Just one man lighter
We were a live wire, you and me
Lawless, lovesick, sweetest pain
We lit off fireworks in the street
While the polo kids drank champagne
Now I wait around for the sun to fall
Over the fairgrounds
Yeah, it's a lonely ghost town
Long empty days
Long empty roads
What now?
Heaven knows
