We’re midnight kids in our ride and confides
We’re the loud ones stuck in cheapest seats
Speak soft in leftover hours of night
To the future as if it was listening

Let's think about the might it might have taken
A generation's best
To reach from small towns into school texts
But that trail's been run so much
There's nothing left for us
But persevere
And tape together headlines
Of a world beyond our means
Wait for word to come from upstream
Gather bread crumbs through the city
Watch the ships blow out to sea

We don’t have to go home yet
We can lock the doors and try
Diagram our distance from
The perfect selves we do our best to be
Until the night knows better

Now, list the ways we hide from passing headlights
Cause we're more broken than we seem
A web of days dismissed as bad dreams
Parking lots at holy hours
Hide our crevices in comfort food...
… and conversation
Tell me how you wish you could be more
How you don’t know what you’re here for
(Don’t know why I’m here)
How our promises feel real right now
But I don’t think I’ll remember in the morning

We don’t have to go home yet
We can lock the doors and try
Diagram our distance from
The perfect selves we do our best to be
Until the night knows better

Come on let's drive!
We don't have much time

We’re midnight kids in our ride and confides
We’re the loud ones stuck in the cheapest seats
(We’re the loud ones… )
Speak soft in leftover hours of night
To the future as if it was listening

We’re midnight kids in our ride and confides
We’re the loud ones stuck in cheapest seats
Speak soft in leftover hours of night
To the future as if it was listening

We’re midnight kids playing footloose and fast
Our clothes stuck to the wet paint of growing up
But for tonight, the streets are where we survive
With our four seat speeches and storms in teacups
