Midwest Towns
Second chances and sideways glances we share
Nervous laughter's contagious, let's rewrite the pages we can't tear
Sleepless nights growing endless, we're far from defenseless now
With headlights on, driving through these Midwest towns

Dreams of perfect tomorrows, no hopelessness or sorrows
They aren't welcome here
We can laugh ourselves to tears, talk about the years
How fast they seem to disappear

We're never alone under the stars that light up the night
Shadows are cast and our eyes reflect the pale moonlight
Talk is cheap, these clumsy words we dare to speak
Over car stereos, the highest lows, we never know where we're gonna go

Raindrops on windows glisten, as you lean in and listen, to the sound of my heartbeat
Anxious hands on flawless hips, your saccharine taste on my lips, is incomparably sweet
Frigid air chills our bones, I'm never too far from home, as long as I can breathe you in
Empty roads, winter clothes, untroubled grins, and cheap cologne, it's just another reckless weekend

We're never alone under the stars that light up the night
Shadows are cast and our eyes reflect the pale moonlight
Talk is cheap, these clumsy words we dare to speak
Over car stereos, the highest lows, we never know, where we're gonna go
