And I swear it's the last time and I swear it's my last try

and we'll walk in circles around this whole block

walk on the cracks on the same old sidewalks

and we'll talk about leaving town

yeah we'll talk about leaving

I swear it's the last time I swear it's my last try



We rode across that bridge all night

we talked our way through city lights

traced all the lines we're killing time

under those buzzing signs

from downtown to anywhere but here

tonight yeah i swear to the rooftops

and just hoped that car would never stop



we drove around this place all night

past closed signs and familiar sights

we're moving by passing time

counting those center lines

with 20,000 lines left to go

that lead to somwhere I don't know

it might be the time that we leave this all behind



there's been a few times

that we thought it felt right

to take all the westbound signs

and just leave town tonight
