My nerves are buzzing and working

Eyes are flashing and jerking

My feelings on the windshield

Night air as cold as chain mail

Takes me back to the first day

The little girl in you spoke to me

You know, it spoke right to me

Sweet cream dream girl

Too much, it's just like candy

I won't forget it quickly

Blind ride on highway 80

And I think it's time you learn how to drive

Say hi to the big time

Bright lemon lime memories that rhyme

White lace, bracelet charms and silent alarms

You and I work in factories

We run the big machinery

The will to try leaves slowly

The murder goes on daily

Don't give me phobias walking the cable

We'll go when we're willing and stop when we're able

I wish these cards on no one's table

And when love is crowded out I'm a friend of the family

At the funeral of our love just a friend of the family

Ah, Miss Critical, might find you're minus one now

If there's someone you love now, tell them you love them right now

Have we been cheated of three of our seasons?

How could we break off for such practical reasons?

All the right reasons

Sleep young bride to be no more

Whatever we do now has been done before

I'm going to drive out to the end of the dirt road

To a place where no one living goes

I'm going to run on foot till I can't feel the cold

And find a sunrise so beautiful

It would capture your soul

And shoot it full of holes

Well we could hate ourselves

Just like the friends of the family do

We could quit our jobs

Just like the friends of the family do

We could change our minds

Just like the friends of the family do

Step right over the line

Just like the friends of the family do
