Street lights
Stop signs
Empty roads
Night drives
You pull up in your mom's car
And pick me up at my street
We sing and drive in the moonlight
Nodding our heads to the beat
I ask how you've been, and you say fine
It's been too long, wish we had more time
I say I feel you, I agree
Life always moves too quickly
Let's drive away
Doesn't matter where we go
I just gotta be back before midnight
But I don't wanna go home
Take me away
To a place other than here
I just need a break
Take me back a couple of years
You're behind the wheel, I'm calling shotgun
You drive too fast, but I don't mind
I look at us, and man we've grown
Am I losing track of time
The light turns red, you hit the breaks
I wish that time would stop
It feels like it's slipping through my fingers
And the memories are all that we've got
Let's drive away
Doesn't matter where we go
I just gotta be back before midnight
But I don't wanna go home
Take me away
To a place other than here
I just need a break
Take me back a couple of years
Take me back when we had no worries
Back when we were free
Take me back to when we were younger
To who we used to be
Take me back to shooting stars
And late-night Walmart runs
Take me back to McDonald's
And to all the stupid fun
