Against Me Untitled Lyrics

Untitled Lyrics

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, sixteen years old, 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 LA 

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 me and my friends are just growing into the drunks and the liars that we've
always hated.

 

Every shortcoming has trapped us, every mistake is now our own infinite
failure.

So we steal every chance we get 

every advantage is taken when no one's looking 

we hide behind closed doors, and we don't stop until 

we are the people we've decided we should be.

I wanna be a shot heard round the world, fucking 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.
