lyrics

Shades of dark blue held together with glue
White paint dribbles over the sky
The roof of your chevy, our hearts warm and heavy
Nothing to prove just stare at the stars

Wouldn't it be nice to freeze this moment
Watch ourselves under the dim lit sky
Remember this is a gift that can't ever be replaced by love at first site
If this is goodbye, sun show me the light

Arrows sketched into the sidewalk, no sign or destination, pedaling our feet
Clueless, young and naive, our dreams to far to reach
Just the gravel underneath

Wouldn't it be nice to freeze this moment
Watch ourselves under the dim lit sky
Remember this is a gift that can't ever be replaced by love at first site
It can't stay this way forever, we'll change

With rings on our hands pleasure has vanished and is stacked between our trophies and scars
We finally know the feeling is never coming back, stapled to nostalgia walls
We're nothing but sampled sounds, commercial clowns
A bad example, the life that we never wanted to lead, sugar coated for all to see
To the one's who are safe in their homes
To the one's who are locking their doors
We're coming in
We're marching in

Wouldn't it be nice to freeze this moment
Watch ourselves under the dim lit sky
Remember this is a gift that can't ever be replaced by love at first site
If this is goodbye, sun show me the light
