Take out the storms and you've got a different place
Something sits right with you here
An antique mall; it's dropping your jaw
Like the courthouse my grandpa built
The guy with the funny hat gave them a hug
And said "I love you so much"
These buildings have been in place for thousands of years
All the factories that I have seen
And one day, we will finally get away
So you can start thinking 'bout things
Like, "where am I going to rest my head,
When all the beds; they have been taken?"
The man at the counter, he couldn't do much
Told us there was warnings in other cities
A van came and picked us up, we saw the fireworks
And car crashes, what a scene
And we walked across the bridge
And we slept until the rain awoke
Five hour drive from mountain to city
Hope the sleepless don't act so gritty
Well, my friend; he wondered, "will there still be light
Coming all the way from downtown?"
I looked at him and I said, "if it can't be a dream,
And if we're not fully dead"
The freeway is empty at this time of day
Clark Griswold must be here to stay
As we walked across the bridge
And we slept until the rain awoke
And we walked across the bridge
And we slept until the rain awoke
Dear sweet people, we miss you so much
Is it me or is it the bites from their bugs
That keep me awake for hours on end
Just close your eyes, and you'll be taken
Back to the place where your love began
In the waiting room with unknown friends
And we walked across the bridge
And we slept until the rain awoke
