If Only for Tonight -

This strip mall town has got me down

A lonely populated shade of grey

And they’re expecting me to stay

«A» through «Z» the blacktop streets

Repeat the patterns we’ve all seen before

It’s getting harder to ignore

This won’t be the last time I’ll be here

I want to drive far away with you

I know that it’s nothing new, but we feel it every time

For all my life I felt like my hands were tied

I’m dying to feel alive if only for tonight

Each time we pass the District line

And make our way along the interstate

I feel the pressure start to fade

The sun goes down, we hear the sound

Of Springsteen singing «we were born to run»

Well baby, we’re still young

This won’t be the last time I’ll be here

I know that I can’t outrun the fear

I want to drive far away with you

I know that it’s nothing new, but we feel it every time

For all my life I felt like my hands were tied

I’m dying to feel alive if only for tonight

I want to drive far away with you

I know that it’s nothing new, but we feel it every time

All my life I felt like my hands were tied

I’m dying to feel alive if only for tonight

This won’t be the last time I’ll be here

No this won’t be the last time I’ll be here

I want to drive far away with you

I know that it’s nothing new, but we feel it every time

For all my life I felt like my hands were tied

I’m dying to feel alive if only for tonight
