It was an odyssey

We were chasing an ideal

You were drunk at the wheel

On empty roads

Where the barbed wire marks the coast

Docks to the left

Dark peaks to right

And all the stars above

Stop, rewind, eject, and return (Stop, regret, and turn)

And add to all the bad advice you'll earn (To bad advice)

It's better to regret than never having checked (I'm taking every chance I get)

Forget the lines you learned and you tried (You tried)

They promised you the best days but they lied (The best days lied)

I promised to survive and you promised me a ride (I promised I'd take every chance I get)

And as the summer goths

Melt out in pigeon park

We are chased by the dark

Any city lit

Looks like home from this far out

I trusted you then

I'd trust you again

Sometimes that's all it is

Stop, rewind, eject, and return (Stop, regret, and turn)

And add to all the bad advice you'll earn (To bad advice)

It's better to regret than never having checked (I'm taking every chance I get)

Forget the lines you learned and you tried (You tried)

They promised you the best days but they lied (The best days lied)

I promised to survive and you promised me a ride (I promised I'd take every chance I get)

You think I'd remember right (Right)

You think I'd remember, right? (Right?)

You think I'd remember right (Right)

You think I'd remember, right? (Right?)

You think I'd remember right (Right)

You think I'd remember, right?

Stop, rewind, eject, and return

And add to all the bad advice you'll earn (Turn to bad advice)

It's better to regret than never having checked (I'm taking every chance I get)

Forget the lines you learned and you tried (You tried)

They promised you the best days but they lied (The best days lied)

I promised to survive and you promised me a ride (I promised I'd take every chance I get)
