Bottles and road signs
Sound like tires on bent wheels
Our hands and feet and ordinary thrills
When we unlocked all the doors
Just so we could finally breathe
Just so we could sew down these torn-up sleeves

Here we stand with a wolf-like shadow
Here we stand in the end
Hey New York, here’s our wolf-like shadow
Hey New York, our old friend

This roof could be my bed
Blankets feel like the night sky
Blankets feel better the heavier they get

Red lights can mean go
I’ll take us home
I’ll take us home
Cut down the blinds from my windows

I stood back on the couch
Remembered this is my life
With my hands over my head
Friends by my side

Here is where we’ll go
I’ll take us home
I’ll take us home
I’ll take us home

Here we stand with a wolf-like shadow
Here we stand in the end
Hey New York, here’s our wolf-like shadow
Hey New York, our old friend

Turn this boat around
We’re starting to go down
But it begins to rain
You forgot how dark it stains
Thought it was a drought

La la la leave it all behind
La la la see the fight
La la la make the best of it
La la la and goodnight

Left turn look both ways
Take breaks on cloudy days
With miles and miles of roads
How’d you know which ones have holes
I’m glad we didn’t stay

La la la leave it all behind
La la la see the fight
La la la until the end
La la la and goodnight

Don’t slow down

Fire escapes sunny
Don’t slow down
Butter and honey
Don’t slow down
Iron and money
Don’t slow down

Don’t slow down
Pen versus pencil
Don’t slow down
I don’t make the rules
Don’t slow down
Physical mental
Don’t slow down

Don’t slow down

Gardens and trashcans
Hoodies and Chuck Ts
Arms, fingers and hands
Don’t slow down

Don’t slow down
I’m feeling restless
Don’t slow down
Summons and sentence
Don’t slow down
We’ve made some messes
Don’t slow down

Don’t slow down

And so I stayed up all night
Slept in all day
This is my sound
Thinking ’bout tomorrow won’t change
How I feel today

Never let your mark erase
‘Cause broken legs can be replaced
Two steps to the finish line
Three sips ’til I finish mine
A straw will always suck it out
Close your eyes and use your mouth
And tell me ’bout your song

And so I stayed up all night
Slept in all day
This is my sound
Thinking ’bout tomorrow won’t change
How I feel today

And now, now the band tunes up
And now remember your lines
And all morning I woke up
And all day long no time

I wanna bring back the bison
I wanna try
I wanna close up the cabinets
Before I die

And now, now the band tunes up
And now remember your lines
All morning I woke up
And all day long no time

And it all
Comes down to hope
Came down on me
I’m begging you now
I’m begging you please
Comes down to hope
Came down on me

Someday spare change
Won’t feel the same
Stand up real tall
And wait to be called

Thoughts so strong
I feel them when you’re gone
Thoughts so strong
I feel them when you’re gone

And these old walks in the park
And meetings after dark
A sore sight
For sore eyes
Run wild and free
You got no place to be

Comes down to hope
Came down on me

Show me the side streets in your life
Train yards like bone yards, sharpened knives
Sidewalks are unassuming fields
Concrete and cracks won’t cut you deals
Won’t cut you deals
Won’t cut you

Lost teeth like white jewels of some kind
Petty theft for penny crimes
For penny crimes
For penny crimes
And we yell

ahh ahhh ahh ahh like a good ol’ fashion nightmare
ahh ahh ahh ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh ahh

Riding trains to end of lines
Still we’ve got nothing but time
The skyline looks brighter tonight
Let’s go smash out every light
Your left foot in front of right
In front of right
In front of right
And we yell

ahh ahhh ahh ahh like a good ol’ fashion nightmare
ahh ahh ahh ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh ahh

Let’s cut down the day
In this green rusty van
Like a red Cadillac
Top down, shoulders tan
I bought my first watch
But it feels all wrong
So let’s wait out the day
Bring the heat along

And when the timing’s right
Hold up wait
Wait wait
Wait wait
Wait wait
Wait
We’ll pull to the side
Arms up, count it down
Just like
5, 4, 3, 2, 1
The checkered flag means we’ve just begun

Let’s cut it down
Let’s cut it down

And we cut down
The day in my old van
Count down
From 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
