Trying to get out of the house after curfew
Tiptoe down the hallway; make sure no one heard you
Running through a ghost town without a flashlight
Sneak in through the window before the sunlight
Letting love find us in all the wrong places
Bluffing with a pair and a sleeve full of aces
Living for today, not doing what we're supposed to
Not making a difference, but there's nothing we can do
Confiscating girlfriends, her boyfriend hates me
Take her to the basement, make sure he can't see
I try to sit back, she keeps leaning on me
A notch on my belt is all you will be
Beyond these cheerful streets lies an undertone of epic defeat
We're breaking down and living the past
We're changing lanes and throwing away the chance to grow up fast
21 is getting closer everyday
Back then it always seemed so far away
Now we're moving out of town into the real world
Struggling to settle down; finding the one girl
Friendships end and people change
But memories will never fade
Getting on the bus with our backs to this town
We'll make it to the bridge and we will change before the sun goes down on us
