Streets

She convinces me to take the drive So I hop on 55 and ride to the coast To bury another ghost in the sand Or let it drift away in the waves Or carry me away from here Sometimes I want to disappear I'm only here for the day I had to get away Then she lays down next to me And she says, "Hey, why don't you stay the night?" Implying we don't have to fight About where we've been or what we'd done before Because it doesn't matter anymore Society's got us twisted But we don't have to listen to what they say Or what they expect from us I think we must We're no strangers to lust And if we break at the first sign of pressure Then maybe lesser people deserve to be where we are And to feel how we feel So tell me is this real enough for you? Don't tell me if this isn't real because I don't want to know the truth About you, about this town About all the love we fake or the rules we break Because I won't feel the same when I wake And her legs are shaking while my heart is racing And then she's telling me to slow it down Well slow it down, we'll slow it down Then pick it right back up We realize that it's close to 5: 00 We'll finally close our eyes and sleep the day away Then I'll try to forget your face on my way home.
