Rose Tinted Windshield

Downtown, upbeat, saving grace Amongst the bustling cityscape Sideways staircase in the alleyway We still look back but walked away Long drives through the winter nights Sing alongs to pale moonlight Fuel was low but our heads held high Ohhhhhh Around and round, nowhere bound We weren't lost but we weren't found Then we came upon a door Moving on meant moving forward Harmonies in ghostly tones A haunted house. A happy home In just one summer, we built Rome Then faaaaallll Fireworks, unsettling scores Dirty shirts and holy wars Atlantic city and pacific shores Up the creek without an oar Memories, memories. Dull or shimmery Good and bad. Both times were had at That house on Chestnut street I know that You think you need it just to be who you were back when you last Felt free behind the wheel But don't dwell for too long And keep your eyes upon the road Take away the want for wanting What I don't have is daunting What I don't have is taunting Take away the want for wanting Melodies in lively colors Traveled far. Expanded further Spring fever left us in a fervor The ship had sank. Forever's over Around and round, bound to the now Determined not to be dragged down No longer climbing through the window Those were simpler times back then though Short drives on these autumn evenings Humming harmonies so pleasing Fuel's still low but our heads stay high Ohhhhhhh Uptown, down beat, saving grace The place has changed but it's all the same
