52nd Street Surrender-Hailey, It Happens

[00:08.47]I pull up to your house, the same time, the same place [00:12.65]And I see a hint of that old smile come dancing ‘cross your face, [00:16.98]That says you’re looking to start a fire, [00:23.09]To walk on a wire [00:34.47]There’s nothing standing in our way; no, the highway is clear, [00:38.91]And I steal a glance over at you in my rearview mirror [00:43.66]I feel alive when you sit so close to me [00:52.00]We’ll put the pedal on the floor until we hit the coast, [00:56.43]And stash our inhibition in the trunk with the ghosts [01:01.27]Of those “promising kids” we used to be, [01:07.06]Like that meant anything [01:10.58]So we’ll drive away, toward the lights of the city [01:19.87]We’ll drive away,break a hundred and fifty [01:27.21]They say every road ends in just another little town, [01:31.83]And every high finds its way to an equal comedown, [01:36.23]But we won’t believe them [01:40.14]We can’t feel our wheels touch the ground [01:45.12]So you made yourself pretty. You put your high heels on tonight [01:49.43]And the way that you toss back your hair, baby, you look alright [01:53.75]“It’s all disguise and misdirection,” you fessed up [02:02.43]You say “I won’t go to work tomorrow, I won’t even call in [02:07.12]And what my mama doesn’t know, it doesn’t count as a sin.” [02:11.20]So let’s get messed up. You look so nice all dressed up [02:39.00]So we’ll drive away, toward the lights of the city [02:47.46]We’ll drive away, break a hundred and fifty [02:55.50]They say every road ends in just another little town, [02:59.67]And every high finds its way to an equal comedown, [03:04.28]But we won’t believe them [03:07.60]We can’t feel our wheels touch the ground [03:12.65]We’re animalistic. We howl into the night [03:17.88]We close our eyes and we feel like we’re in flight [03:22.05]We feel sleep calling but we give a battle cry and we fight on and on and on and on… [03:30.75]We throw our hands in the air, [03:32.70]But it feels less like a celebration [03:35.40]Than an exhausted form of capitulation [03:39.00]“Freedom” you scream, as we cross the county line [03:46.20]Then you open your eyes [03:52.00]Escape has always been a dream [03:56.50]It’s just a lie
