Idle Town

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
When the lights out at the stadium, hey
Making life a spinning arcade
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
When the lights out at the stadium, hey
Making life a spinning arcade
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
And everybody’s trying to escape
Killing time at the yellow café
And curfew’s at midnight

Yeah I think that we’ll all be okay
The idle town will stay as it stays
And everyone I love’s in this place
So curfew’s at midnight
We watch the sunrise
