I'm gonna give it away to you
I thought I'd hold out for something more but I can't wait
Don't hold your breath 'cause I'll be gone in the morning
These city lights have become more than I can take
And I want free
So let's set the record straight
Everyday is a storm that's waiting to strike
And every night is a dream but not real
Life is not what it may seem so
Get off your ass and pull your face on out of the dirt
A few steps back and you'll see that this is
Worth the heartache and the tears so
And the record plays on and on (and on and on)
This is our ticket somewhere
Is this gonna get me somewhere far away from home
And the record plays on and on
This is our ticket somewhere
Is this gonna get me somewhere far away from home
My home
Go to college and learn something nobody needs
It's 3 AM have you found a place to
sleep away your makeup and the lies that you tried
Open your legs if you think your future's inside
I see you blushing do you have something to
hide those bruises on your neck this time
And the record plays on and on (and on and on)
This is our ticket somewhere
Is this gonna get me somewhere far away from home
And the record plays on and on
This is our ticket somewhere
Is this gonna get me somewhere far away from home
My home
Alone
Say hello to the best few years of your life
Time spent and pursuit of love
We are crashing everything on this town tonight
I'm gonna give it away to you
I thought I'd hold for something more but I can't wait
