-------------______________----------------------
The things we never said, but we always knew were right there.
It's got me on my knees in a bathroom,
Praying to a God that I don't even know,
"Well, dear Jesus, are you listening?
If this is the one chance that really matters,
Well, don't let me mess this up.
If you'd told me about all this when I was fifteen,
I never would have believed it."
On a balcony overlooking nothing,
With snow falling all around,
Well I, I called just to say "Goodnight".
And you hadn't done anything wrong,
And know, really, really, it's me not you.
One night we lay beside each other, so close to a sweat
with two fans circling overhead, we sleep on borrowed time
and the traffic lights direct empty roads, the stars can't break the city sky
but they still try despite what they know is already true
And tomorrow we'll take aim, just like a storm waiting for a calm
I can feel everything coming in my chest, my heart's already pounding
my head's on far-off highways, on a road that never ends
might drive into something that looks like a sunset, and it lasts forever, and i never look back
From hoboken to l.a.
from portland to gainesville
from the great plains to niagara
route 66 straight to california
electric lights carry the night
We move in 4/4 time
our feet on wheels and in the sky
yes we're going cause we'd die if we stayed here
and those dying dreams will carry what's good, and real, and pure
and the rest can burn in hell
And for the four-year-old girl found dead in a dumpster
shot by her mother, her eulogy,
the sound of construction through head-to-head traffic
today is just another day.
and just growing into the things that i've always hated
Every shortcoming has trapped me, every mistake is now my own infinite failure
so I steal every minute I get
every advantage is taken when no one's looking
I hide behind closed doors, and I don't stop until
Im the person i've decided I should be
I wanna be a shot heard round the world, unstoppable
this distance is not something we'll regret
from here, and now, and today, and forever, and days after that till the very end!

Striking confessional with wonderful language compression. This is the kind of verse I enjoy sober, forthright, gritty.
Excellent
Peace
