The Panic Years

Ten years of panic

Now I'm stuck here stranded

'Cause I missed the train to get to you

She say "How'd you manage?"

In that Irish accent

"Get in out the rain, your lips are blue"

Caught eyes as the lights turned red

And it feels like I'm 18 again

Dublin's on fire

You go deathly quiet

I feel you reaching for my hand

"How's your day been

With so much changing?"

Fear is played out by the band

Driving 'til the speed kicks in

And it feels like this time's different

I'd wait for you

If it's forever

'Til I turn blue

I'd hold my breath for

Ten more years of panic (panic)

I, I'll be right where I'm standing

Next to you, ooh-ooh, you, ooh-ooh

You, ooh-ooh, you, ooh-ooh

Too much pretending (I remember)

We'd always skip the line to get in

Just to leave, go back to yours (Just to leave, go back to yours)

Daydream through nightmares

I know, they were right there

But I, shook the hands and played the shows

I get drunk and I overshare

But it feels like something's happening here

I'd wait for you

If it's forever

'Til I turn blue

I'd hold my breath for

Ten more years of panic (panic)

I, I'll be right where I'm standing

Next to you, ooh-ooh, you, ooh-ooh

You, ooh-ooh, you-ooh-ooh

Caught eyes as the lights turned red (ahh)

And it feels like I'm 18 again (ahh)

Driving 'til the speed kicks in (ahh)

This time feels different (ahh)
