Hey Athens what can I say?
I spent the night and I could barely move the next day
Hey, it's all good to me
I think my temperature's about 103
So we spent the night in this so called haunted town
With everyone I'd ever want around
And I'll do my best to talk until I hit the ground
'Cause it's the perfect night to go walking around
Let's not call this reminiscing or romantic
A basement anthem for all the addicts
Who don't know how to deal with not alone
But can't stand sitting at home
In the basements, backyards, under bright stars
Making out in the backs of cars
Neighbouring towns we always drive
Hey Indy what can I say?
I drove all night and it didn't take long to get through your state
But it was all in vain
And the next day I drove back across your boring plains.
It's all sentimental, and the sky looks artificial
Forgive me I'm so judgemental
I'm trying to keep that in line
You know it's hard to do sometimes
So I look back over these lines
'Cause for the most part
I rely on shoulders to cry on
Patios to talk facts of life on
Don't know how to deal with being alone
When I'm so far from home
Things go from worse to okay
To maybe the next day
To never again 'cause I don't know what to say
It's no wonder I ended up this way
It's four in the morning
I wish I was asleep
These songs on the radio don't sound the same to me
I took the long way out here
Just to see the trees
I felt the weight of the world
It used to bring me to my knees
But tonight I am okay,
This company I keep
Makes me feel stronger
Than I am, or will ever be
I get scared of the future
Now it's more the past
Sometimes life can go by so fast
So tonight I am okay
Just sit around and talk about it all
And may the weight of the world not make you fall...
