The Electric Life

from First Release (2010) by The Sky Light

lyrics

south bound
'cause she asked to take the drive down
she always says "the city gets too loud"

so i won't make a sound
'cause i know its not the life she needs to lead
so i said "we need to leave"

she counts the power lines
to pass the time while i pass to the left
street signs and skylines mark the rest

just say there wasn't ever any reason to stay
i couldn't take the blame, i wouldn't stand in the way
we both fell head over heels the same
i was just lucky to remember your name

she's got a face for the movie screen
but tastes just like cheap champagne
and we stay up high 'cause the view from the ground floor isn't quite the same

they let us get away
we never said we'd stay
but we lost sight of where we started
don't remember what they called it, anyway

we count the power lines
to pass the time while i pass to the left
street signs and skylines mark the rest

just say there wasn't ever any reason to stay
i couldn't take the blame, i wouldn't stand in the way
we both fell head over heels the same
i was just lucky to remember your name

and this is where it ends
and this is where we will be
i've still got my friends and thats all i will need

keeping the sun to my east,
i'll stick to the coast
its all i know

(let em say that we were just kids
and were back at it again
let em say that we were just kids
we were proud of what we did)

but even the shoreline can get out of reach
if you fall in too deep
uncharted and hoping not to sink
done wandering

just say there wasn't ever any reason to stay
we both fell head over heals the same
i was just lucky to remember your name

and this is where it ends
and this is where we will be
i've still got my friends and its all i will need

south bound
'cause she asked to take the drive down
