| This town will never change
|
| People come and go, it’s all the same
|
| Speed the roads on our doubting days
|
| To any place that’s far away
|
| I never learned anybody’s name
|
| We all vowed that we wouldn’t stay
|
| Kissing signs on the interstate
|
| All we do for now is sit and wait
|
| In our idle town, in our idle town
|
| Yeah, we invent our own little games (in our idle town)
|
| When the lights out at the stadium, hey (in our idle town)
|
| Making life a spinning arcade (in our idle town)
|
| And curfew’s at midnight, we watch the sunrise
|
| We watch the sunrise
|
| We watch the sun
|
| Springtime when the air is thin
|
| We’re getting antsy and they’re noticing
|
| While everybody’s off partying
|
| We’re watching stars over ice-cream
|
| And now we’re kicking up to seventh gear
|
| And we’re breathing in the atmosphere
|
| And I don’t even need a sip of beer
|
| Yeah I can feel it all
|
| In our idle town, in our idle town
|
| Yeah, we invent our own little games (in our idle town)
|
| When the lights out at the stadium, hey (in our idle town)
|
| Making life a spinning arcade (in our idle town)
|
| And curfew’s at midnight, we watch the sunrise
|
| We watch the sunrise
|
| We watch the sun
|
| And they watched the sunrise
|
| Blinking out of red eyes, and sore minds
|
| The airplanes keep flying by, and they cry
|
| 'Cause they’ve never even touched the sky
|
| No, they’ll never even touch the sky
|
| Yeah we invent our own little games (in our idle town)
|
| And everybody’s trying to escape (in our idle town)
|
| Killing time at the yellow café (in our idle town)
|
| And curfew’s at midnight (in our idle town)
|
| Yeah I think that we’ll all be okay (in our idle town)
|
| The idle town will stay as it stays (in our idle town)
|
| And everyone I love’s in this place (in our idle town)
|
| So curfew’s at midnight
|
| We watch the sunrise |
