Suitcase packed on the side of the road Rainin' down from my head to my feet It seems so strange in the back of my heart That these sounds were never meant to believe I'm set free and I'm ready to go You can't stop me and you already know The best days of our lives have yet to come Two times back again this is really startin' to grow old Two times back again with eyes that just can't see Where we're going to so I'm just leavin' Back and forth through the city we'll go New sounds comin' out of the streets Don't look back to the parody show Of sellin' your souls to the beat No one saw the night behind the sky I bet you never wondered why You're sitting here in the midst of nowhere Two times and back again this is really startin' to grow old Two times back again we're leavin' this behind And when you hear from you'll know it when it's time We're listenin' believin' that it's true I feel it, you know I feel it!!! Put your hands together and we'll light this night We'll light this night on fireâ?¦
