[Verse 1]
I close my eyes and jump the fence and say they let me in
The sky is dark, but the night is lit with the lights from Highland
I pull apart my eyelids in the back of a passion pit
Pray it stays, I promise and say "I'm gonna get a tattoo for this"
Yeah

[Chorus]
When all the lights are out in the biggest small town
We'll take all the right pieces and point them up
In the place of tiny footsteps, where we never grow old
Oh, that day felt like a story

[Verse 2]
Boulevards of acoustic guitars and all of our dreams collide
The sky is dark but the night is lit
With the X's on the backs of my hands
'Cause the youth of us is dangerous if we become a passion pit
Still, I pray it stays, I promise and say
"I'm gonna get a tattoo for this"
Yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
When all the lights are out in the biggest small town
We'll take all the right pieces, and point them up
In the place of tiny footsteps, where we never grow old
Oh, that day felt like a story
When all the lights are out in the biggest small town
We'll take all the right pieces, and point them up
In the place of tiny footsteps, where we never grow old
Oh, that day felt like a story
