lyrics

Let's go for a ride
Nothing's open, doesn't matter too much
Where we're going
We talked all night
Sat in the parking lot radio playing
On and on and on

Let's blow this dusty town
Wander the streets of a new city
Be stars of our own movie
Couldn't outrun the rain
We get soaked and laugh it off,
Doesn't matter anyway

I just might get my hopes up tonight
For what's on the horizon
There's a sliver of red light
On the edge of the night sky
We said goodnight at dawn
And I hope you'll call

Let's get something to eat
We have dinner at the mini mart
While the rest of the world sleeps
Took a penny from the tray
So I can leave one for your thoughts
Fleeting, I wish they would stay

I just might get my hopes up tonight
For what's on the horizon
There's a sliver of red light
On the edge of the night sky
We said goodnight at dawn
And I hope you'll call
