Hailey, It Happens - 52nd Street Surrender Lyrics
I pull up to your house, the same time, the same placeAnd I see a hint of that old smile come dancing ‘cross your face,That says you’re looking to start a fire,To walk on a wireThere’s nothing standing in our way; no, the highway is clear,And I steal a glance over at you in my rearview mirrorI feel alive when you sit so close to meWe’ll put the pedal on the floor until we hit the coast,And stash our inhibition in the trunk with the ghostsOf those “promising kids†we used to be,Like that meant anythingSo we’ll drive away, toward the lights of the cityWe’ll drive away, break a hundred and fiftyThey say every road ends in just another little town,And every high finds its way to an equal comedown,But we won’t believe themWe can’t feel our wheels touch the groundSo you made yourself pretty. You put your high heels on tonightAnd the way that you toss back your hair, baby, you look alright“It’s all disguise and misdirection,†you fessed upYou say “I won’t go to work tomorrow, I won’t even call inAnd what my mama doesn’t know, it doesn’t count as a sin.â€So let’s get messed up. You look so nice all dressed upSo we’ll drive away, toward the lights of the cityWe’ll drive away, break a hundred and fiftyThey say every road ends in just another little town,And every high finds its way to an equal comedown,But we won’t believe themWe can’t feel our wheels touch the groundWe’re animalistic. We howl into the nightWe close our eyes and we feel like we’re in flightWe feel sleep calling but we give a battle cry and we fight on and on and on and on…We throw our hands in the air,But it feels less like a celebrationThan an exhausted form of capitulation“Freedom†you scream, as we cross the county lineThen you open your eyesEscape has always been a dreamIt’s just a lie
